I love it when you see success especially after a lot of hard work.  Looking good  and a series of features that people want will make this device a popular holiday gift.  So when I saw this piece on Electronista indicating that the Zune was the 2nd most popular in online Black Friday, I had to share the story with you.

Microsoft’s Zune series was beaten only by the core video game market in terms of online sales for the Black Friday weekend following Thanksgiving, say studies from multiple online retailers. PriceGrabber, Shopping.com, and auction site eBay all report the Zune occupying the second place position behind the Nintendo Wii and similarly high-profile consoles and their games. Most of this is split between the old Zune 30 and the newer Zune 80, according to the claims. Part of this is believed to be connected to the low cost and upgradability Zune 30, which has frequently been selling near half price at $100 but can also be upgraded to the same improved interface as the latest players.

In the final analysis, only time will tell how it does in the overall market but I tend to believe that it will prove to be wildly popular.
