| | Hmmm... I've heard, so it's only a rumor, a tactic that microsoft might take in order to sell this product. They might make the device itunes-downloaded-music/video compatible. This is for the people who paid for the songs/videos legally... they don't have to start a new collection because apple doesn't want to free up it's music to play on other mp3 players... this might solve your problem, mtvoyagers : ) |

will this technology war ever end haha... figures not. it seems that techology wins money thse days. the better the gizmo the bigger the cash inflow. another thing woud have to be asthetic qualities. everything has to look nice now. fashion is shooting through the roof. i guess microsoft cant let apple win through with this mp3 war. the ipod is keeping apple plenty alive and its not look too flash for microsoft. i guess this is how they're gonna retalliate. doesnt look too flashy, but i bet the stats on this thing pwn. i personally think ipod wins the looks aspect, i'm not into the whole buttons sticking out nemroe. i like my objects refined and smooth. if i wre too design an mp3 player it would be like an ipod but the whole side would be a touchscreen where u rotate and such on a gui interface which directly animated withing the screen. that would be a killer piece of equipment for me, esp better on movies too.

Personally I don't really like the design much, however the idea and the principles behind it I do like the whole wireless thing which could be a great asset to Microsoft. My thought about the interface would be that the device functioned as a normal MP3 player, but when viewing videos I guess that the device would be held sideways giving it a widescreen aspect ratio. I also suspect that there are either side buttons or touch sensitivity to manage navigation an seeking within media. I am also intrigued as to how MS can link this in with the Xbox as this design clearly doesn't play (conventional) games, it will obviously allow for streaming of media from Xbox's and from PC's (unless MS go crazy). anyway seeing as this is just one design in Project Argo I would expect there to be other (better) designs, ones that may include gaming and link in to Windows Live Anywhere (or is that Everywhere?).

As an honest opinion, I would love to see any thing take out the IPod. Its making Macintosh get a big head and think they are the greatest computer company in the history of man kind. Plus the fact you have to pay an arm and a leg to get an IPod. I got my MP3 play for less then the cost of an IPod with the same amout of space. It came with more features as well, such as a built in Microphone and a FM Radio. I think the only thing keeping the IPod alive is the college student crowd. The only reason I say this is because thats about the only place I see an IPod anymore is on my college's campus.

Ooooh, iPod Killer... Microsoft are asking for it, directly competing against Apple... and they can be sued if they call it iPod killer, 'cos Apple copyrighted the name iPod! I don't think it will be as good as the iPod... but then again, I've never used an iPod, so I don't know what to expect, But if microsoft can put WiFi on it, then it's gonna be better by far, for sure. Then again, MicroSoft has promised so much stuff and not really delivered (perhaps that is the reason my friend calls Microsoft, MicroSuck)... We'll just have to wait and see.

Right. That's definately not a rip-off of the iPod. Yeah. It just has a circular pad, with a centre button, and a play/pause button, and a back button on either side. Yeah...and I forgot the clear pearl theme look. The funny thing is is that Microsoft, like it always does, is copying Apple. Apple's new iPod that is being released this fall will have all these features that this so-called "iPod killer" will have PLUS much more (internet iTunes surfing and more). Just like Windows Vista copying Mac OS X, it is simply an immitation, but I think, however, this time this "iPod killer" will lose. The iPod has generated a whole cult that no Mp3 player to this date, even though there are many with MUCH more features than it, can kill. Sorry. The iPod rules.

Thats a good point about the "cult". People won't care about how many features it has, they trust iPod and have good experience with iPod. Unless the next iPod is a piece of crap, I too doubt that they can kill the iPod.

Zune Ii, Is This Gonna Be An Ipod Killer?
(12) Many people have been disappointed with the Zune- Microsoft's attempt at developing an iPod
killer media playing machine. I don't know too much about media players, but you would think
that if it has wifi capabilities, it should be able to go online. Well, the MS Zune lets you preview
other people's music, which you would then have to buy. I guess that the idea has some merit,
but come on? I digress. Does anyone think that the Zune will outsell the ipod this holiday season?
Some people seem to think so. With a price tag of $100 in some popular electroni....

wrong is if you end up syncing it to that PC by mistake, you’ll lose all your data. Now

Jinxing Digital’s Mp4 Player Has Swiveling 2mp Camera
(4) QUOTE If you like generic names, you’ll love Jinxing Digital’s “MP4 Player,” a
320×240 2.5-inch screen PMP that, unsurprisingly, plays MPEG-4 files. It also features a gimmicky
2-Megapixel camera that can swivel horizontally up to 180 degrees, A/V Out, and an SD/MMC slot. No
mention of built-in storage, and it can only manage 5 hours of continuous battery life — we would
say move along, but as this MP4 Player is unlikely to hit these shores, you probably won’t have to.

Mp3 And Cd Player In One.
The Daul Music player (2) Designer Yong-Seong Kim has brought us a MP3 player that can also play CDs. It has a really sleek
design but seems unnecessary. Why not just upload the CD onto the MP3 player? I guess if the MP3
player didn't have enough room on it, you could just play the CDs directly but you could
probably get a MP3 player with more space for the same price. One feature that would be really cool
to have on it would be to transfer music from the CD its playing onto the MP3. What do you guys

Apple Ipod Vs. Microsft Mp3 Player
(32) Well first and foremost, I'll say this: I'm an iPod man. I love iPods, I have two of them in
fact, and I've done a lot of things with them like hacking them to play doom, and some other
cool stuff. 30GB is quite a bit for an mp3 player, let alone the 60GB version. So there's also
room for not only your music, photos, and videos, but your other files, because you can use it as
sort of like a flash drive. So in short, I can't get enough of my iPods. But recently I heard of
Microsoft coming out with their Mp3 player. Even though not many details have bee....

My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data,

song, then skip to the next. After doing this a couple times, it would just skip entire songs.
It'd skip six or seven, then do half of one, then skip six or seven more. Later I looked on the
