I doubt it. Microsoft could have based the first Zune player on Windows Mobile, but it didn't. This makes me suspect that no Zune devices will use Windows Mobile, including the phone.]]>Sep 15th 2006 3:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/M-W.com states that:
"the most frequently repeated remark about it [the word irregardless] is that 'there is no such word.' There is such a word, however."
I'd bet you'd find it in the OED as well.]]>Oct 3rd 2006 5:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/
The point is that it's a nonsensical word, like a double negative. It means the exact opposite of it's intent.

I'll "cite" the American Heritage Dictionary:
Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir– prefix and –less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

So, it ain't no word. ;)]]>Oct 4th 2006 8:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/
if its in the dictionary its a word, bite it.]]>Oct 7th 2006 9:13PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/Oct 12th 2006 1:24AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/Mar 6th 2007 8:50PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/14/zune-phone-en-route/
anyways, how about we get off the topic of irregardless being a word or not. no offense directed to you, but if irregardless 'ain't' a word, then 'ain't' ain't a word either. makes sense? haha..]]>Mar 7th 2007 4:15AM
