Microsoft is going to release an MP3 player that many have dubbed as the "iPod Killer". The kind of person I am makes me VERY happy about this, considering I do NOT own an iPod, and never will. I do NOT like iPod's, and am VERY glad that Microsoft is doing this...



The new player is said to have both 30GB and 60GB flavors, along with many colors as well. A 400 Mhz Processor is also said to be in the mix. Although none of this is confirmed, one of the best features I await in this product is the WiFi capabilities. It will be for Music Downloads from the Internet as well as from other Zune devices. It is unsaid if already happened, or if it will happen, but many also believe that it will have also either XM or Sirius Satellite Radio. The design looks similar to the iPod, but boasts superior technology. Although the device itself has been confirmed my Microsoft, the features have not, just that it will exist. Microsoft says that it will be able to let users re-download songs that they have already purchased from iTunes for use on the Zune in WMV format (which doesn't make sense because WMV means Windows Media VIDEO), so I think it will really be in WMA format.

If you were wondering, I stole nothing but the picture. I actually wrote this myself because I felt like it. The picture is from Engadget. Thanks for reading Noeman folks!
