Microsoft discontinues all non-touchscreen Zunes
I have heard rumors that the iPod Classic as we know it, is dying. It is due to the sales of the iPod touch and iPhone are climbing, but the sales of the traditional iPod are declining.
Yes, pretty soon those iPods that were so hot a few years ago will be seen in the same light as the Sony Walkman (The ones that just played cassettes). Then I suppose all that we will have is just touchscreens, because that’s what everyone wants, right?
It would appear that Microsoft is seeing the end coming for their traditional Zunes. Yes, the Zune HD is planning on being “the” Zune as Microsoft will no longer be making the earlier version of the Zune. (Not that anyone was buying them. Oh, snap!)
Yeah, I think we all know how much people have been making fun of the Zune since its initial announcement. Perhaps this supposed iPod come lately will have a revival when the Zune HD appears on the market September 15th.
So, if you want a Zune without a touchscreen, better hurry out to the nearest store and get it. Otherwise, the only Zune you’ll be buying will have to have a touchscreen and cost $220 for 16GB and $290 for 32GB.

I love devices with buttons – it means I can often operate them without needing to look at the screen. In the case of the iPod, it’s normally skipping tracks, pausing, etc.
If manufacturers are going to go all touchscreen then what happens to all their customers that have problems with their eyesight? I’m guessing that the blind would probably not want to use a Zune/iPod because it would prevent them from hearing their surroundings, but I wonder how many do own them?

Every single person I know that has bought a Zune swears by it and says they will never touch an ipoo again!
