Zune! - Blueeyedwoman - 09-17-2006

It's like an IPod MP3 player but supposedly better with more bells and whistles. Available this Christmas. Who's gonna get one?


Microsoft presents mobile player Zune

Microsoft has released details of its MP3 player Zune. The device will include a 30 gigabyte hard disk and a 3-inch color display, the company reports. The player, which will be marketed in time for Christmas, will be available in black, white and brown. The price and/or a specific launch date have not yet been made public, however. In response to an inquiry by heise online a spokesman of the company declared that unlike the United States the device would not be available in Europe this year.

The Zune software was capable, the spokesman said, of importing unprotected WMA, MP3 and AAC audio files. Images would be stored in a JPEG format and for the device to handle videos these would need to be in one of three formats: WMV, MPEG-4 or MPEG-4 AVC (H.264). The software presupposed the presence of Windows XP SP2 and the availability of a broadband Internet connection, Microsoft stated. The company has announced three accessory packs: a "Zune Car Pack," which allows signals from the player to be transmitted to the car radio, a "Home A/V Pack" that will make it possible for the user to integrate his or her Zune with the TV set and music speakers at home and a "Travel Pack," for an on-the-road Zune experience.

well microsoft don't build that bad hardware (compared to the software) I mean the keyboards and mices were kinda neat...err well the now some kind ipod thingie if they plan to invade the market they will prolly make the prices lower so it's a good thing.
Now I don't think that I am going to buy one of those things because I don't really like to listen to music ALL THE FUKKEN TIME. I like the silence a lot too.

so apart the good news in like "ipods & co will eventually be cheaper" I don't plan to buy that thing

You need a Dell XPS M2010 notebook with wireless internet hookup, speakers, with GPS support and a Patriot missle link. And cLaY.
