Is the Zune Dead?

This rumor is still unconfirmed, but Business Insider is reporting that Microsoft has decided to discontinue its media player, the Zune.

As the story goes, MS is planning to focus all their development teams on Windows Phone 7. Also, Microsoft will continue to sell existing models of the Zune, but will not introduce new ones.

The Zune never achieved the success of the iPhone and iTouch, so it was never able to attract t the development community that grew up around iOS.
