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.

“I’m Not Impressed by Zune.” said Steve Jobs
What can I say about Microsoft Zune? I’ve yet to get my hands on one and it is highly unlikely I’ll get one ever. Steve Jobs was not impress, the marketing guru that re-shape the entire Apple computers and eventually the way corporate market their product is right about it. I’ve I were given a choice to choose between an iPod and a Zune, I’ll definately go for an iPod even if the price is the same. Maybe iPod has the cool factor and its an Apple, not to mention that Zune’s design is a big let down. Read : Zune vs. iPod
In an interview with Newsweek’s Senior Editor Steven, Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs says he is unconcerned that iPod might lose its cache because it’s too popular. “That’s like saying you don’t want to kiss your lover’s lips because everyone has lips. It doesn’t make any sense,” he tells Levy. “We don’t strive to appear cool. We just try to make the best products we can. And if they are cool, well, that’s great.”

Zune vs. iPod
Although the Zune is slightly bigger in term of size, surprisingly its the Zune that weight less than the ipod. I guess they were right about not judging a book by its cover. For more information visit the Zune iPod Comaprison blog.

Finally, the tech industry worst kept secret is no longer a secret, Microsoft long rumored digital music player is here, unveiled to the world on September 14, Microsoft Zune has a built in FM Tuner and wireless capability. It comes with 30GB Hard disk - meaning to say it not for people who love sports, it will hold around 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures or 100 hours of video.
According to J Allard, Microsoft’s vice president of design and development, “The digital music entertainment revolution is just beginning.” Its just plain old Microsoft, the miss the internet revolution, the computer revolution and now the digital revolution, and now they claim its just the beginning.

Apple phone on track for early ‘07 ?
Think secret has this article of Apple’s latest and soon to be release super toy for adults. Its a Apple Phone for the masses. Now, I can’t really imagine that, seeing that ipod is a run away success in the portal music player market doesn’t mean Apple’s phone will be the next Motorola Razr or the LG’s Chocolate.
Apple’s product has this cool factor, like marijuana. Hooking a person into wanting more but when it comes to serious buyers, Apple lost it all. Just take a look at their ipod player. Every year they increase the capacity and shrink it a little, there is virtually no major improvement. Yeah, it plays video - so what? Sandisk Sansa music player doesn’t have the cool factor that ipod has, but interm of features, Sansa is loaded and the best part is it has a FM Tuner.
At the time, Apple was said to be encountering “significant technological hurdles” in its attempts to essentially re-invent the cell phone with an innovative ground-up design. Since then, Apple has scaled back its ambitions and has opted to go with several off-the-shelf parts for what will be the first of at least two or three different phones that sources say Apple hopes to deliver in 2007.
Apple’s product are usually over-price with limited features and locked into a whole of its own. Bill Gates was right when he predicted the death of mac during th 80’s and early this year, again he predicted that iPod will share the same fate, a slow and painful death. Let’s face it, to be able to lock a person into a single format is an up hill battle, for example the mp3 player format is the de facto of digital music, not even Microsoft with their WMA format can unseat it, let alone Apple’s AAC format - unless Apple open up their iTunes digital store and allow competitors with the ability to sell AAC format.
I’m thinking of getting a portal music player, flash based and there is a very high percentage that it won’t be Apple’s iPod. Sandisk Sansa is too good to be true, the smaller version runs on AAA battery meaning to say that I don’t have to buy those expensive Li-on battery like how Apple force their loyal customer replace an expansive battery.
Apple is good, but it could have been great if Steve Jobs were to run it like a business man, but then again, if Steve were to run it that way, then Apple would not have been what it is today - unique. Let us hope the next generation iPod comes with a FM Tuner. Forget about the video and games, I’m too old for that.

Dell DJ Ditty has gone the Dodo Bird Way
Its small, light, comes with a screen and a FM radio. It has more feature than Apple’s shuffle but then it failed to do what it is suppose to do - take the world by storm. Dell has officially announce the end of Dell DJ Ditty.
The DJ Ditty plays MP3, WAV, and WMA music files, as well as Audible-formatted audio books, if you compare the features, Dell beats Apple flat. I think Microsoft Zune too would face the same fate, unless it has millions of features that no one can resist. For example a TV receiver and who knows - bluetooh file sharing capability.
Dell removed DJ Ditty from its Web site on August 17, said Dell spokesman Venancio Figueroa. “We want to tighten our consumer product focus and we believe we can do that with PCs , TVs, and printers,” he said.

Microsoft Zune Picture Exposed!
Gadget blog Gizmodo claims to have scored an exclusive photograph of Microsoft’s yet-to-be released digital music player, Zune. According to them, it comes with a harddisk with video playback feature. The design is ugly, and video layback? Who needs that? I mean, I want to listen to my music only, not watch some high resolution DVD with Dolby enhance sound on a 3 inch LCD on a normal ear phone.
The only way for Microsoft to fight Apple is to include a bluetooth file sharing capability, like what Steve Jobs always said, “lets be pirates.”

Awake Monster Zune
Finally Microsoft admits that they do have a plan to produce a iPod killer and the project code name is Zune. Like all great project, it is bound to fail, why? Well, if Sony, Creative and iRiver fail to do so, how in the world could Mr.Microsoft with no knowledge in mp3 player able to beat them?
Below are some facts that we gathered about this secret project:
- The first Zune device will be launched this year, with more devices to come in 2007.
- The Zune media device will be drive-based, and have WiFi.
- The Zune brand is intended to be an entirely vertically integrated end-to-end solution, not unlike the iPod / iTunes / iTunes Music Store triumvirate.
- The logo we had is, of course, real.
- Microsoft will bully their way to victory again.
Nice try Microsoft, unless your player is loaded with features and dirt cheap, I’ll stick to my good old iPod player. Prepare to be iPod Killed!
