Lackluster sales have lead GameStop to dump its remaining Zunes and swear off the MP3 players for good in the future.

Despite Microsoft’s continuing efforts to reinvigorate the Zune concept with lower prices, new accessories and new online services, retailers don’t seem to be taking the bait. On Thursday, major game retailer GameStop revealed that it has pared the Zune out of its offerings entirely, citing poor consumer demand for the decision.

“We have decided to exit the Zune category because it just did not have the appeal we had anticipated,” said a GameStop spokesperson, according to TheStreet.com, which first reported the news. The spokesman also cited the Zune’s poor fit with the retailer’s product mix, which appears to be a fair assertion given GameStop’s focus on games and the lack of other MP3 players offered in the store.

Although the company said it made the decision a month ago, it will continue to offer the players until its inventory is gone, explaining why its Web site still offers a Zune landing page and a healthy selection of Zune players and accessories.

Planes, trains and automobiles are no longer blackout zones for Google Docs, thanks to new support for Gears that allows users to access and edit documents even without an active Internet connection.

Google Docs delivered another solid blow to Microsoft’s office suite on Monday by finally delivering the ability to work without an active Internet connection, a major feature that users traditionally had to cling to the likes of Microsoft Word for. Docs users can now access and edit their entire libraries of Docs files while away, then sync them up seamlessly when an Internet connection is restored.

Google Docs’ newfound offline capability comes from Google Gears, a browser plug-in that enables Web 2.0 applications to run sans Internet. While Gears has been available in beta form for nearly a year now, support for Docs, one of Google’s most robust Web applications, is new.

To enable offline editing, Docs users must install Gears, then log on to as they normally would with an Internet connection. Gears automatically syncs a users’ Docs files, downloading them to the computer for offline use. When connected, a green icon at the top of the screen shows users that their changes are being made to both Web and local copies, while a grey icon indicates that Web access isn’t available.

Currently, only word processing documents can function with Gears – support for presentations and spreadsheets has yet to come down the pipe – and English is the only supported language.
