Zune
As I was looking through the CNN website, I came across an article about Microsoft launching a new Zune music player. It contains 30-gigabyte as well as an FM radio and wireless connectivity to allow users to beam photos and songs to one another. Each Zune device will come preloaded with an array of songs, music video, images and short films. The Zune offers a greater range of features and seems to be more advanced compared to the market-dominating iPOD.
It will be interesting to see how the Zune will affect the market for Mp3 players, especially since Apple's iPOD has been the most widely used music player for the past five years. Also, I wonder how Apple will respond to this new device, whether they will decided to offer new features on their current iPOD or even create a new technical device.
Personally, I would prefer the Zune over the iPOD, since it provides more features such as a FM radio tuner, the wireless capabilities, and downloading music. Thus, I would think that the Zune would more convenient to the typical music player users.
