Microsoft unveils it's version of the iPod - Zune

[Mentor]

I'm on a mac so I can't buy a Zune. =]

I don't need WiFi to send music to each other tbh. Apple will bring out something along the same lines.

Oh, and yes, the iPod is an MP3 player. It plays my MP3s.

no they done, the itunes converts mp3 to the itunes format before it can be played on an ipod... theres no inate mp3 support "/

The ipod's are so well known as being the best MP3 players out there, i don't think anything, not even this will stop them.

Yeah, its unfortunate, really. Unless another player can get better advertizing out, iPod will be in the lead for marketing. There are so many better mp3 player companies with more types and better quality for less money, but no one knows about them.

And entor is right, technically iPod isnt an MP3 player.

Who ever said Bill Gates retired, what I read was that hes taking a break for three years. But I like this thing better than the ipod. I think it looks nicer, and the screen looks bigger.

That sounds like BS to me. Then conversion to AAC (not iTunes format, AAC) is incredibly fast. I know that you can set it to convert all your tunes to 128kb/s AAC before putting it onto an iPod.

Oh wait, it is an MP3 player, once I opened up my iPod on my grandad's computer and I could access all of the muisic files (i don't know how i did it), and they would play in Media Player on a PC. I am on a mac.

It's complete BS that isn't an MP3 player.

I don't care, iPods will be the only thing for me because there is no real good Music DRM player for mac apart from the iPod.
