Zune is the ‘F’ word in Hebrew



Zune

Many must already know that on November 14th Microsoft is set to launch an iPod rival with the name of ‘Zune‘. Its a feature full media player which is being touted to challenge Apple iPod (I doubt it), Zune has a significant number of variations which can suit any persons needs.

Interestingly ZUNE is actually the ‘F’ word in Hebrew, to be precise the word is actually pronounced as ‘ZIYUN’ in Hebrew. So if one fine day you happen to be walking buy a Jew, or maybe arrive into Tel Aviv, just yell ZUNE and watch the heads turn.

What will you say if you landed at Tel Aviv.

    first of all i wouldnt go to tel aviv. i dont want to be blown away by some suicide bomber. i think its a good idea not to make any light comments about Jews coz they always whip up a storm.
    Second, i am sure that zune will be able to compete with the Ipod someday. Microsoft is always the underdog when it starts and ends up dominating the market or ending up second in some way. Some i am rooting for the Zune coz i love Microsoft (yeah i know its weird).

    Completely different translations…

    How would I know? I went to a Jewish college in the US, a bunch of my friends are jewish, a lot of the guys I hang with speak hebrew….and I live in NYC….so your theorem is a bit unfounded…

    And i would love to, one day, visit all holy cities, inlcuding Tel Aviv, where I believe, there is alot of history.
