MS Zune to be an iPod Killer, Not Really

Posted on 17 September 2006 by Tommy

Microsoft Zune has announced it will be here in time for the holidays at a competitive price. It has confirmed that it will be a 30GB player that comes in three colors – black, white, and brown – and plays back most major file formats. It also features wireless connectivity, a built-in FM turner and a 3-inch screen. But what Microsoft is really pushing is the Zune’s ability to share music wirelessly with the ingeniously named Zune-to-Zune sharing (the new Sony Mylo already has this feature – another copied feature for Microsoft).

Out of the box the Zune will include earphones, a protective sleeve, a USB sync cable and a sticker. It is hopping to build a “MySpace-like” Community, where users can share music. You can actually send a file to another Zune user, but it will only be playable three times or stored for three days, whichever comes first. But there’s NO VIDEO! How on earth can it be an iPod Killer with out video.
