Microsoft is looking to kick off its challenge to the iPod juggernaut today with its Zune music player 5 Reasons Why the Microsoft Zune May Succeed. We counter this with 5 reason’s the Microsoft Zune will almost certainly not be an iPod Killer.

Microsoft can position itself as a video provider of TV to DVR to pocket solutions. Media Center beats the ITV prototype for now, because it also records TV. Being able to put recorded TV from a Media Center right onto your Archos portable AV500 or AV604 makes a great deal of sense.

Also, the Archos video models are very different in size and shape than Apple’s iPod. Microsoft needs to differentiate what it’s offering; an iPod-like competitor is going to be an also-ran.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

And some Apple Fans insulted me on my page for me telling the world I have a problem with Itunes.

Unbelivable. The first softwre update in a while from Mac, and they screw it up. And the next software update is Leopard? But… Since the time of Itunes 6 – > 7 , Windows Released RC1 Beta for Vista, Live Gallery, Live Search, Q&A, Windows Mail, Office 2007 Beta, Jeez.

Zune, el reproductor multimedia de Microsoft, será mañana (día 15) presentado a la prensa en un acto privado al que se debera acceder con invitación. La empresa pretende hacer sombra a iPod, pero ya veremos si lo conseguirá…..

Our blog has a side-by-side look at the new video iPod, compared to the rumored features of Zune.

Differences in Zune include a larger screen (3″), FM-receiver, and Wi-Fi for sharing and DJ mode.

If those are not attractive to you, stay with iPod.

Till you do that your looking very dumb since I assume you never used the product before.

Microsoft Corporation has been rapidly developing a competitor to the Apple iPod in order to take away marketshare from Apple in the portable music sector.  The name of Microsoft’s product is named Zune. 
As pictured below, the Microsoft Zune f…

Have you used a toshiba product lately? Complete crap.

“We’ll see how they market and sell this. If they market it right .. it just may steal some market share from Apple”

If they sell one unit they’ll have taken market share. Silly statement. The question is, will they take enough.

“Compllllete rip off Media Center and WMP 11. Unbelievable.”

What an ignorant statement. Only an idiot like albert would agree with you.

I think The recent announcment of Leopard shows this fear. In leopard you now have the ability of Multiple Desktops. A nice feature. But this was available for Windows, on Power toys years ago.

I think its more intimidation by what Windows Vista could bring.

But than again if Apple wasnt here there may not have been a total revamp of windows. Nor a introduction of Zune.

So Kudos to Everyone.

Microsoft has the funds to make a good product. Lets see how it hits and impacts the market. Afterall its been kept quiet for a long time. Maybe its time for us all to buy Stock in Microsoft and Toshiba… Just incase?

^^, Even the Mac users can agree that this COULD be something. If Microsoft could give me a good music product I will switch. Why? Because I have a Smart Phone by Microsoft that uplinks to Outlook and the only Mac software, Itunes is there only for the sole purpose of my Ipod. Btw…. Itunes 7. Compllllete rip off Media Center and WMP 11. Unbelievable.

The Zune looks mighty impressive with the wireless data connectivity. Apple has been slacking off for too long… Zune could pose a serious threat to their dominance. Let’s wait and see.

Nuff said.
