Zune to start offering TV shows
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft says it will start selling downloadable television shows for its Zune portable media device -- including selected programs from NBC, the network that split from market leader Apple Inc.
The move comes more than two years after Apple introduced television shows and movies for its dominant iTunes store and iPod -- reflecting Zune's latecomer status. Microsoft introduced the device in late 2006, after devices from its hardware partners struggled to gain any significant traction against Apple's iPod.
