Microsoft Zune vs Apple iPod

I have posted about the about Microsoft Zune in my blog and thought folks here would enjoy it too.

Question:
Where will Steve Jobs take Apple Computer in the 21st Century?
– asks Mercury News here

Jobs says

“Your den, your living room, your car, your pocket”

…in front of a a select audience of technologists and journalists who had been summoned to San Francisco for a secret announcement on Tuesday

Now, if you think that’s cool. Then think again, Cos Techcrunch says here that Microsoft has called the press to discuss about Zune – supposedly the iPod killer machine.

Microsoft Zune – iPOD killer? Sony PSP compete? fight Apple iTunes? and more

Yet even as Microsoft gets ready to release Zune in time for the holiday season, Apple is grabbing attention with reports that it is about to offer downloadable movies that can be played on a new version of iPod with a bigger screen. Microsoft says that Zune will be compatible with video formatted for an iPod or any other media player. But the company is focusing on music, which it believes makes more sense for a device that people use while jogging or riding their bikes. Still, even in the music space, Microsoft has its work cut out.
