On Tuesday, November 14, 2006 Microsoft came out with it’s Zune.
iPod competitor. It comes in 3 colors: brown, black and white. Though many competitors are already out there, many still can’t compete with the iPod’s sleek style, knowness and accesorries. The Toshiba Gigabeat S is one of the best iPod competitors, it can’t meet the iPod on simplicity but its still a great product. Now the Zune has a unique feature of Wi-Fi song sharing. This enables a player to try out a song for 3 days or 3 plays, then they can buy it on the Zune Marketplace. Zune has a MRSP price of $249.99, the same price as the iPod 30 GB and also the same battery life of 14 hours. The Zune is a little on the thicker side(0.6 in) compared to the iPod(0.4in), but the Zune does have a bigger screen than the iPod and a FM tuner. Most people like the outcome of the Zune (accoring to Cnet video). So I think that Microsoft has done quite a good job on it’s first MP3 player.
That’s cool!
Hey, “Kevin Johnson”, that’s pretty cool! Nice you finally got that up. I’ve been wanting to get one of those, but apparently my parents won’t let me at all for fear of damaging my ears. Don’t forget to check out my blog.
