re: Marketing

Has anyone at MS thought about getting Zunes into coffee shops, bookstores, electronic stores, record stores, ect.?  If such businesses would allow an 80 GB Zune, loaded with music, to be put in their stores and the music shared, it would increase Zune demand temendously.  It would get the word out about music sharing, point out the advantages of Wifi, and give people another reason to buy a Zune over another MP3 player.  To deter theft, it could even be set up with headphones and other audio output disabled, and no battery, so it would only act as a music server and would have to be plugged into a power source.  They could be given away as a way to promote sales.  Maybe they could refer to the areas with this type of service as 'Zune Zones'.  

Interesting idea, I'll pass it along.
