Microsoft's iPod Killer MK1





















Their new Zune device has a 30GB hard disk, and is available in iPod white and black, and in a rare case of Microsoft innovation, erm.
PlaysForSure companies who now find themselves competing with their former leader. Their reward for buying into Microsoft's original vision? A great big 'So long, suckas!' It was bad enough when there were two incompatible copy-protection standards: iTunes and PlaysForSure.
Zune from the iPod is it's wireless capabilities, it can be used to transmit music (and photos) to other Zune users, albeit for 3 days, then it wipes the tune - even if it was your own recording, this is just not for DRM protected files! It also has an FM Radio built in, and a bigger screen than the iPod.
the iPod special to me, is the AddressBook and iCal intergration, plus the use of the iPod hard drive as a portable data carrier.
