Spoof Features Launch of Microsoft Zune Phone

Jeff Burkett points to a hilarious spoof of a Microsoft Zune Phone commercial in which “Steve Ballmer” does the informercial-style thing hawking all the supposedly wonderful things about the Zune including Windows Paint, MS-DOC Executive Appointment Calendar, a clock and a RAM driver…all for $9. What’s even funnier is a video of the real Steve Ballmer laughing at the $500 Apple iPhone and tossing it off as some sort of over-priced phone no one will buy. If memory serves, the iPod was pretty expensive when it first came out. I guess we’ll see who’s right over time.
