Yeah, you and I could do that, but I think the average person isn't going to buy MP3s from Amazon.com, then import them into the Zune software, or do the same with iTunes. The iPod really cemented the expectation that an MP3 player is a combination of a software and hardware experience.

Microsoft released the Zune in Canada in 2008, but without the store, and I didn't recommend it to a single person because without the Marketplace, it's just another MP3 player...albeit one with some really great desktop software.
