All I can say is their marketing better be the best MS has ever done. The general population does not consider Microsoft "cool" . Yes, I know a lot of people here don't like the iPod but we're hardly what I would call the average consumer.

Apple has a huge head start on this and you better believe they saw this coming.

The Xbox team is doing the marketing for this and I believe they were in the development of the Zune so it may stand a chance.

Zune??, Wii?? Must be the year for stupid names for consumer electronics.

I hope the Zune is good, it'll be great to have some competition in the market space for digital music players.

If it plays DRM'd WMA files and has no support for AAC it'll be dead coming out the gate.

All the features listed in the article are rumored to be in the next gen iPod.

Oh this is going to be fun to watch! Then again MS hyped up Oragami and well....
