Default Zune HD failing miserably - Insignia Portable HD Radio also a bust

The Zune HD 16GB has fallen off Amazon's top 100 in electronic sales,
and the Zune 32 GB has fallen to 39th place, up from 44th:

Critics are already calling MS to give up on the Zune HD:

Bob Struble has already declared the Insignia Portable HD Radio a
bust:

"Struble: Radio Is the Last Analog Medium Standing"

"HD Radio portables — No one's buying a lot of transistor radios
anymore. The headphone radios that people used to run around the park
with are all gone, and if radio wants to continue to be a reach
medium, they've got to be in the devices people carry, which
increasingly are cell phones, MP3 players, personal navigation
devices... Insignia HD — I think this will be a nice little interim
step for jogging or working out. It proves the viability [of the
technology] and hopefully we'll get sales; but no, this is not going
to sell in the hundreds of thousands... Radio alone — the sad reality
of where it is — as a standalone device, it just doesn't exist anymore
as a category. Nobody goes into Best Buy and says 'Where's the radio
department?'"

Watch for Struble's last spin on this!

Great Post and I agree - iBiquity digital radio is a total flop. No
one wants it, retailers can't sell it - just no need for it.

It sure causes a lot of noise on AM radio as well. One clear channel
station interfering with another - what a complete failure.
