Comming Zune!!!!!
Its official, well if it wasn’t before. I mean Microsoft is as leaky as a colander when it comes to keeping secrets, but in a leaked copy of US music rag Billboard magazine (not due on shelves until next week) Microsoft has finally told everyone that it’s building an iPod rival. Yipeeee Not!
Well as per usual articles like this are strategically aimed at getting our attention and making us look out for it to see if it is worth purchasing. However, Microsoft have said that it will run video and mp3 formats and its windows media formats and it will be releasing an end to end software for the sole purpose of migrating the data to the unit just like Itunes does with Apples Ipod. The item is called a Zune. But it looks like the Zune will interfact also with the XBOX 360, Windows Vista and XP PC’s and the Apple Mac although I’ve never known an Apple purist to contaminate their Mac with something made by Microsoft. I know heaps of Apple users running Microsoft Office 2004 but then again the are not Apple Purists.
