The Zune may not have met most blogging standards as the hippest most up to date utterly cool device on the MP3 market, yet it has taken the market share it had hoped for and with the release of new reformatted Zunes coming out this Christmas season it is liable to take more of that market share.
This means that someone is losing market share and while the iPod and the iPhone are still in complete control it is Creative, maker of Zen players, that is suffering the biggest loss since the onslaught of the Zune.
Creative’s stock fell to it’s lowest point in the last 11 years after Creative announced its fifth loss in the last six quarters. Over the last year the stock has lost 35 percent and is the worst performer on Singapore’s benchmark Straits Times Index landing today at $6.60. Sales have fallen 28 percent to $162.2 million in fourth quarter earnings.

It seems that we have already passed prerequisite shipping days to be guaranteed our Christmas gift - wait hold the ba-humbugs - I guess we’ll have to venture out into the snow (if you got it) and those fabulous mall parking spaces, or you can just wait and get your dock after Chrismas. (Since this is one of those January one’s anyway)
On to the story - Cambridge Soundworks introduced their new PlayDock High-Fidelity Portable Docking Speaker Systems for Zen and iPod players yesterday. (whew - that was one heck of a long name - three times fast!) - Actually not quite that long, yes it is too early for April Fools - the systems are called PlayDock Zen, for Zenners, and PlayDock i, for, that’s right, iPoders. (Yes I do know those aren’t real words and did you catch the i on the end! - I was tricked yes’m I surely was - One of these days can someone leave off the “i”, the first one was clever, now….)
