Microsoft to make an iPod competitor ??
That’s right Microsoft will attempt to compete with Apple’s iPod. It’s hard to believe that Microsoft is tying to make a portable music device that will be cooler than the iPod.
To giver you an idea of how well Apple is doing with the iPod…..Since Apple has released the iPod in October of 2001 they’ve sold more than 50.8 million players. In the US that’s about 77% of the market share. Also, that Apple music store is used for 72% of music downloads.
According to the Taipei Times the digital player will have a wireless Internet connection, enabling users to download music without being linked to a computer, a feature the iPod doesn’t offer, according to people briefed on Microsoft’s plans.
I’m anxious to see what Microsoft will come up with? Hopefully their MP3 or should I say WMA player won’t be susceptible to viruses, spyware and blue screens of death like many of their other products. That’s one more thing that I don’t want to have to worry about, what service pack my portable media player is at.
