Tech & Media: As usual, overzealous New Yorker's and the Post generate false hope

If Microsoft knows better, they wouldn't take the fact that their new Zune digital hand held media gadget flew off shelves within minutes of being stocked. Why you ask? Well that's because us New Yorkers can be overly overzealous especially when it comes to the latest must have. Sure we'll wait on line for hours and even camp out overnight in front of a store, but when the moment passes it passes and then its on to the next or something like that. Microsoft's Zune media player, which the tech titan hopes will dethrone Apple's market-leading iPod, was flying off shelves in New York on its first day in stores yesterday. "It's been crazy," said Eddie Feliciano, a sales manager at Best Buy at 44th Street and Fifth Avenue. "Our Zune area has been mobbed." "I just needed a new MP3 player to play my music and watch videos," said Murphy, who bought a Zune at a Manhattan Best Buy. "I'm not an Apple fan, not an iPod fan. So I wanted to try something different." IPOD SLAYER ZUNE HITS THE GROUND RUNNING [NYP]
