listen, there are PLENTY of website forums where I can get "social" or read an XML stream to build a stupid playlist card. That crap is pure marketing fluff....which fails miserably if there is no one else around you to be "social" with. When was the last time you shared a song from your zune with a stranger? The "Social" should have been an open ended framework that other vendor devices could have participated in....I bet the only place the "social" lives up to its name are highly dense areas like new York Metro where you MIGHT bump into someone else using a Zune.
When you set out to compete in a market, do some basic research and find the benchmarks your device needs to have. The Social is an answer to a question no one asked. However, BASIC UNICODE SUPPORT should have been a requirement. It is dumbfounding coming from a company that stresses Unicode support in its software.
