Funny and looks like it could be true!
cheeky monkeys! brilliant!!
This is a big lie.
The Fune could never be so innovative coming from Microcrap
They forgot to include a compass like the ones you once got in Crackjack boxes.
No, the screen would be much bigger than just (at a very low resolution, of course).
First time Microsoft didn’t copy Cupertino…
I want one! But do they come in Zune brown?
Can’t wait until the third-party accessories come out — corkscrew, TripTik map compartment …

Very appropriate for Japan!

Loved it! I always wonder if Steve Ballmer sees these kind of things. I sure hope so.
is it also a canteen? what is that little screw top?
@ msmith222,
That’s where you pour in the kerosene. You never have to worry about charging any pesky batteries.
I want one…NOW!
It looks like those WWI or WWII army devices to detonate Dynamite!
Like all good humor this ad has an element of truth. We all know M$oft loves to jam stuff into devices even if they make no sense so they can add to the “features” list. They think we’re stupid. They think we’ll always settle for less just because it’s from them. They’re playing catch up and they’re losing. People are realizing more and more that they have choices.
Mock and ridicule–more steps in the march of their decline.
I’m on an iPhone. I can’t see it.
I call Fake! There was no mention of SquirtsForSure.

Agreed. A physical magnetic compass on the back would have been a great touch. Plus maybe the sliding tile game

The microsoft skunk works strikes again!
It’s Zune-worthy but needs the red ring of failure to properly brand it.
This is the problem Microsoft have made for themselves, no matter how good a product they might make now people wouldn’t believe it, they’ve been burned too many times. Microsoft is synonymous with crappy products.
