I didn't get the point of the Zune in the movie neither. Totally forgot that the thing even existed. Don't know anyone that's ever owned one. If this was actually product placement, it seems pretty pointless to me. And if it was meant to be a joke, the punch line is lost on me.

I'm guessing it depends on your age whether you find the joke funny. I got one for free from Microsoft one year and initially, it wasn't actually a bad product-it had quite a few DJ fans (interoperatibility)--and they spent tons of money & (badly) marketing on it.

But there is no way Microsoft paid to put any failed product in a film.
