Dig a shallow grave next to Windows Phone, Zune, and IE. C'mon guys, you need to catch up to the size of Google's graveyard.

RIP Zune. I still have both of mine in my office and they were actually awesome to use.

Do they still work? I hear the collector's market is kinda hot.

Both of them still work! One is a black 32 gb original Zune. The other one is the Platinum Zune HD, which, imo, was ahead of it's time. If I remember, I'll take a pic of both of them working and update this post :)

From what I know, they can be upgraded to larger hard drives and better batteries.

You might be the only person I've ever heard of who owned a zune that didn't get stolen. I still miss mine.

I still have a Lumia 930 in my drawer with WP 8.1. It was such a wonderful OS to use in look and feel. Had Cortana (alpha) on it too.

It was a good OS, there just weren’t enough apps for it.
