Turns out that if you search for “Zune” in Google News, it thinks you made a typo.

“Did you mean ‘zone’?” it asks.

Nice. Four months into Microsoft‘s bid to gobble up Apple‘s share of the digital music hardware market, the Zune is barely on the radar.

According to the NPD Group, the Zune held a 10.2% unit share of the hard drive music player market in the U.S. in December and a 9.9% unit share in January. Guess who owns the other 90 percent?

Think about it. Do you know anyone who owns a Zune?

Yeah. Me, neither.
