Quoting Scoble – “Paul Colligan says that Zune (Microsoft’s unreleased new portable media player to compete with Apple’s iPod) has no podcasting features and points that out to me.” via Scoble.

Why on earth would Microsoft even entertain the word podcast? What Scoble and Colligan did with their posts was create a nonsense coversation about how the Zune will suck if it doesn’t have podcasting. It’s the information vacuum at work. People don’t have information, so it gets made up and talked about. There is NO WAY Microsoft and it’s marketing team are ever going to allow the words podcast or podcasting into their advertising, PR or marketing.

The Zune will have podcasting. They’re not stupid. And, it won’t be called podcasting. They’re not stupid.
