“For those that are too embarrassed to carry around their Microsoft Zune comes the new iFace. The ultimate device for those that suffer from having techno-envy,” Registered Media reports.
Owning a Microsoft Zune player in an iPhone dominated world can become a huge social stigma. Especially if you’re one of those trendy up-and-comers. We’ve solved the stigma associated with owning a Microsoft Zune by creating the “iFace.” The iFace attaches to your Microsoft Zune using a hinge & latch mechanism. Once installed it transforms the outer appearance of your Zune player to resemble and iPhone INSTANTLY. With the iFace you’ll never have to lie to your friends about why you own a Zune. You won’t have to hide your Zune, you can use it as you always have, in any setting. Isn’t it time you get your confidence back? Pick up an iFace for your Microsoft Zune today.
See a friend approaching? Quickly close the iFace cover on your Zune player putting it into an instant state of “incognito.” People will think you actually own an Apple iPhone.
STOP asking yourself, “Why did I ever buy this thing,” and START making people think you’re hip and trendy once again.

Is that a joke product?
Oh, Oh!
I hear the Apple lawyers dialing their phones right now.
Sick ’em
MDN word: carried
As in the idiots who made this are going to be carried away to the poor house after the lawyer’s call.
Hilarious! It should be real!
If you bought a Zune it’s not a joke it’s a godsend.
It’s a joke folks. Feel free to chuckle.
Zune Tang your iPhone is here!
Zune Tang will probably buy two!
welcome to the social-ly acceptable.
Does this even works on a brown Zune

The only problem would be someone might actually steal your Zune now…
Boy will they be pissed!
Voice of reason: OMG are you actually for real or what?
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”LOL” style=”border:0;” />
Now, if this was a real product there would be the home, professional and student & teacher editions, it would come free with 100’s of viruses a 300 page printed manual and there would be ten different drivers to download.
I won’t buy any, thank you. What do Zune owners have to be ashamed of?
I OWN A ZUNE AND I’M FIERCELY PROUD OF IT!
It’s you iPod lemmings who should be embarrassed. You don’t have points, you can’t squirt, and Apple is nickel-and-diming you for FM radio capability. Not only that, but have you seen the advertising for Zune? I’m part of the social now. We are a tight-knit group of movers and shakers who squirt each other. Who doesn’t see the people in the Zune commercials and say to themselves “Wow, what a hip, handsome, energetic bunch or youngsters. I can be like that with a Zune!” So true.
Hey iPodders, stop being a part of the antisocial. Get a Zune.
Welcome to the Social.
lol, bananahead
ZT, you had me at “fiercely proud.”
Zune Tang…
Now I know for sure you’re just kidding with all this pro-zune crap!
You’re too funny!
Here’s squirtin’ at ya kid!!!
Just ordered one “for a friend.”
Embarrassed of Zune? What are these people smoking?
I’m proud of my Zune and anxiously awaiting the real cellphone evolution called the ZunePhone.
Errr….trendy up-and-comers wouldn’t actually own a Zune to begin with, would they?
” We are a tight-knit group of movers and shakers who squirt each other.”
Squirt away as long as you don’t procreate.
Zune Tang.
You are either…
a) a really bored youth.
b) a really bored out of work no so youth.
c) paid by Micros@#t.
Whatever the real answer is, you’re too funny dude. Thanks again.
of course iPod users have points! here’s mine:
Zune users are indeed a tight-knit group. all six of ’em.
put a rubber on your Zune when squirting with others. welcome to the Social Disease.
i have an iPod in part BECAUSE I HATE THE #%&*ING RADIO. why, then, would i want a stupid radio tuner in it?
guess what, Microsoft actually creates iFace to boost Zune sales.
They always sell crap products with outer skin borrowed from Apple (as in Winblows).
Now they take it 1 step further.
Hi all, with the iphone l know it wont be released here in australia till 2008 but would it work if l bought one from america and put my sim card in? Thanks
Zune Tang, you used to put a lot more into your sarcasic rants in order for them to sound like you really mean it. You’re slipping. I can totally read through you now. Maybe it’s time to give up.
Never give up Zune Tang. I truly cracked up on that one! Thanks!
That’s only half of the solution.
The Zune owner needs some sort of airtight cover for his face. Like the creature from Alien.
Okay, that “Zune Tang” was funny. People have gotta remember that this site doesn’t require registration. So there were multiple “Zune Tangs” just like there were countless “Sputniks”. Some are funny, most just troll.
“People have gotta remember that this site doesn’t require registration. So there were multiple “Zune Tangs” just like there were countless “Sputniks”. “
It’s like that old game show “To Tell the Truth”.
Will the real Zung Tang please stand…. and squirt.
That article is a good laugh. I’m still saving up for an iPod, so Zune has no appeal for me. Does anyone know how much of those Zune actually get sold. Frankly, I have never seen one apart from the ones on microsoft’s site…
Best wishes for the New Year from Belgium!
The REAL Zune Tang has gay porn on his Zune, so he can squirt it on-em, at-his friends.
Welcome to the Facial.
ROFLMAO
Fantastic. Losers of the world unite: get a much needed iFace.
” Does anyone know how much of those Zune actually get sold.”
Yes. Both of them.
Ballmer has one and Zune Tang has the other.
They chase each other down the halls of Redmond, giggling and trying to squirt each other with “Midnight at the Oasis” and “Afternoon Delight”. Then, they stop for three days to enjoy the squirted booty.
i’m not sure what’s more hilarious of this story
the product
what the product is for
the fact they made it for the zune (hehe zune)
the fact zune users need to cover up with something apple related
or zune tang’s reply
I say…I laughed so hard I soiled myself.
Did that guy (zune tang) actually end his post with “Welcome to the Social” ? What a freakin douche! What freakin looser with a smelly zune sits around and posts on a mac news/rumor site?
Hey Zune Tang, Go bone a piece fruit while thinking of bill gates.
AHAHAHAHAHA…his Steveness should put this up next time he talks about the Zune in his keynote
It’s only a parody? Damn. I thought it would be the perfect accessory when Zunes get discounted to the price of a Shuffle…
Zune Tang would you do me the honor of eating my shorts!
man this is funny…
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
Zune Tang, the only person you should squirt is your boyfriend. After all, squiting is what makes the population grow!
Love you Zune Tang
