IPod Killer
Did I doubt exactly which mp3 player to choose? Not. Why am I - a good half of the owners of the players never doubted the choice of the Apple iPod. He is so immaculate, beautiful and functional, in a word, a dream in a snow-white building. And it does not matter that after a couple of months he will need iDrops and there will be a few more ill-conceived things revealed - nobody cares about the purchase, and after that you don’t regret it.
Microsoft Zune, the intended appearance
The upcoming player from our beloved company Microsoft, MS Zune, does not look like a dream at all (externally, it will at least look like the one you see above). And the color of the case “almost snow-white, if not compared with really white”, as from the advertising of the powder, and a primitive panel - no longer seem so cult. The only thing that attracts in the new player is a really giant screen, which is perhaps two or three times the size of the iPod display.

As far as is known , Zune will differ from its competitor in that it will be possible to receive music and video over a wirelessWi-Fi connection . That is, the computer will be excluded altogether from the usual “computer computer - player” chain (although it is not clear how the player will be charged).

The price of this device on average will not exceed $ 399, that is, slightly more expensive than the player from Apple. And the processor will be built into the Zune with a clock frequency of 400 MHz and a volume of 60 gigabytes. And besides, the player will support the Urge server, the answer from Microsoft and MTV to the iTunes music store. Well, as in the case of the iPod, the developers of the new player will leave one of the main disadvantages - incompatibility with other Windows Media services. This is done to ensure that music for Zune is bought from an online store and not downloaded via a computer.
No official information about the new player from Microsoft has yet appeared. Just the other day I earned a strange site ComingZune.com , where an unshaven man strokes a rabbit, and some teenager slowly approaches it. When the video ends, visitors are invited to enter their email address so that Zune developers have the opportunity to keep them up to date and the address of a friend who will receive a link to this amazing cartoon. After sending my address, I received a letter with an offer to install this picture on my desktop and wait for the news.
I did not change my desktop, but I look forward to the news. Although, in my opinion, it will be very difficult to shake the position of iPod in the market of mp3-players, even for such a giant as Microsoft.
