Next generation Zune Scorpio mp3 Player delayed

Microsoft has yet to officially announce the launch of the next generation Zune player but it appears that there might be a delay (as usual). No official statement was given, for those that are looking for a decent mp3 player with lots of features, my advise is to wait for Zune.

Microsoft may not be a very good hardware company but what makes Zune interesting is the fact that it has tons of features, one of the key features missing from Apple’s iPod is the FM radio.

According to Zune Scene, the next generation Zune is flash based. Visit Zune Scene for a comparison between Apple’s iPod and Microsoft Zune.

Apple iPod FM Tuner?

Apple’s Mac sales up 44%, profit soars 88% — but iPods down, this could be a beginning of an end of the ipod era, but then again it might not be. According to reports, revenues were down year to year basis by 1% only, which is nothing much to shout about but I doubt it is a sign of an end. Steve Jobs is the world’s greatest salesman and by simply mapping out the technology features of the first generation ipod with the latest version, we know that Steve Jobs is introducing new features one at a time, slowly.

He could have just build an iPod with video playback, radio, wifi, huge storage, possibly a torchlight or bluetooh but he decided to take this introduction one at a time. Rumours has it that the next generation iPod is going to have a FM Tuner, which is something I’ve been waiting for a long time, if that doesn’t happen then I’ll get myself a Sony Walkman.

Apple iPod with FM Radio

April 3, 2007 · Filed Under Computer Gadgets & Hardware · Comment 

I’m not really an iPod fan but I have to admit that I would love to own an iPod player, it is not really that expensive after the introduction of iPod Nano. One of the many reason why I decided not to purchase an iPod because it lack features, for example a FM radio station and a good set of headphones. I’m currently eying Sony’s NWE507 mp3 player which comes with a FM radio and best of all a noise canceling earphone, I’ve tried out one in Sony Wings station and I am impress with the quality, I’ll have to wait for a while, lets see what Apple has install for us in the next iPod, if there is an FM Radio feature then chances of me getting an iPod would be higher.
