Zune Hardware Officially Retired…Again

Microsoft has recently experienced issues communicating the future of Zune hardware. They initially announced the end of Zune hardware a week ago on their support page, only to retract the message via a Twitter post. Fret no more, the Zune’s support page (again) declares that Zune hardware is no more:

We recently announced that, going forward, Windows Phone will be the focus of our mobile music and video strategy, and that we will no longer be producing Zune players. So what does this mean for our current Zune users? Absolutely nothing. Your device will continue to work with Zune services just as it does today. And we will continue to honor the warranties of all devices for both current owners and those who buy our very last devices. Customer service has been, and will remain a top priority for us.
