Trying Out the Zune: IPod It’s Not
Nov 9, 2006 Uncategorized
This is an interesting article on the new “Microsoft Zone” mp3 player coming out next week. He points out the differences between it and the iPod, including wireless capability, video and photo viewing, ease of use, and several other factors. He makes a great point, as summarized below:
Competition is good and all. But what, exactly, is the point of the Zune? It seems like an awful lot of duplication — in a bigger, heavier form with fewer features — just to indulge Microsoft’s “we want some o’ that” envy. Wireless sharing is the one big new idea — and if the public seems to respond, Apple could always add that to the iPod.
