Dell home has dropped the Zune 32GB HD $ 240 and call it the fall in prices in the history of falling prices in Last week. We were wrong. The 32 GB and 16 GB just another drop in price is enormous.

The 32GB is now a clean $199 with the 16GB now fetching $140. You did not need a coupon code, passing secret or anything. These prices are for everyone and could indicate a Micrsoft official price cut is coming soon. Google Shopping still pegs the Zune HD 32GB at $240 everywhere else so we really don’t know what’s going on with Dell. Perhaps it is a mistake, maybe not. But $ 199 is the price that the Zune 32 GB HD should be in order to have the opportunity to fight against the iPod touch.

An Illinois man continues Microsoft, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports, saying the company has added its patented technology for Zune by not responding to his offer of licenses in March 25, 2010. Edward Yavitz, MD, said that Microsoft had infringed two patents covering a method of marking and downloading music via an FM receiver.
 
Yavitz said he wrote to Microsoft in 2006, offering to throw ideas patented in 2000 and 2002, and the company responded to his letter. In 2008, Microsoft introduced the “Buy from FM” feature on the Zune.

Yavitz’s complaint says, “Despite using Dr. Yavitz’s patented proposal and adopting it as a centerpiece of its Zune strategy, Microsoft has never responded to Mr. Yavitz and never tried to obtain a license for patents. ”

Microsoft declined the paper’s request for comment on the suit.
