Microsofts iPod killer has struggled to make much of an impact in the US the only territory its currently available though general manager of global marketing Chris Stephenson has reiterated the companys plans for an international release.
Reasons for the long delay in bringing the Zune out of America were rather vague, though Steve Ballmers recent announcements about separating the Zune services from the Zune hardware could help to bring some aspect of Microsofts games and media platform to new territories.
Leaked photos of the delayed Windows Mobile 7 showed evidence of integrated Zune services within the operating system, so theres every chance the rest of the world will see the Zune Marketplace arrive before the dedicated Zune hardware.
