Microsoft plans to compete against iPod
Several news sources reported last week that Microsoft is planning to sell an iPod-like device, which should be available for the holiday shopping season. The Seattle Times says the device will carry the XBox brand. It's expected that the media player will be able to download songs wirelessly.
Analyst Phil Leigh with Inside Digital Media says in order to succeed against the enormously popular iPod, a Microsoft music player must have innovative new features and be easy to use.
