Well I suppose it will be Apple’s worst ever Christmas gift. For months people have been anticipating a music player from Microsoft commonly known as iPod Killer (for no apparent reason). Well the iPod killer has been finally confirmed and has been code-named as Zune (strange name?).
It is expected to be released by the end of the year 2006 (Christmas?). Co-developed by Redmond, Zone is said to have features like Wi-Fi capabilities, larger screen compared to iPod and inter connectivity between Zone, XBOX Live and other Windows Mobile powered Handhelds. It is also rumoured that Zune will have an embedded software something like iTunes which have the capability to share and download music files.
Its suprising that Microsoft took to so long to announce Zune. Its been years since iTunes & iPod have hit the market. They control a very large share of the music download subscriptions already.
Microsoft, better have a good stragedy to play that game. They need to make sure before launching any of their products, that they have been fully tested and as less buggy as possible. Now, they wont have a chance to nearly beat the iTuners including myself.
Points at Microsoft >> hahaha. Their just waisting money.
