Zune and Ipod

Microsoft is now expending its weaponry against Apple which is the Zune the new MP3 player which is designed by Microsoft, it will have some features the Ipod does not poses, but is it really better? Further MSN will stop selling music and the files that were bought through MSN will not be compatible with the Zune. Zune will also have to compete with PSP, and several other media players which are already established in the market. Microsoft seems sure that their new product will simply take the market and that their is not a single mobile media player out there that could compete with their Zune, yes admittedly the Zune does have some interesting features such as a build in Wireless port which allows the user to share music with other Zune users. This is interesting, and Microsoft stated that the transferred music will only can only be replayed three times or so, which means that you have to either buy the song or that you have to find the person that 'lend' you the song in the first place and let this person send the song over again. Microsoft will continue to steer the same course which they have steered over the past years which is towards greater and more efficient content protection, DRM is of course included in the Zune package which will then help control the use of the content.
