Microsoft Zune
Q: Ive heard about microsoft zune, the mp3 player that is able to playback videos and store pictures? Which one is better? Zune or iPod video?
A: I just recently bought an iPod 30 gig for 240 bucks. My brother went out the next day and came back with a Zune 30 gig for 200 dollars. Chalk one up for the zune.

But he had a question for me: Were Microsoft to make such a device--and, again, absolutely no decision had been made along those lines--what would I expect of it?
I had pondered such a thing many times. By then, Apple's iPod and its associated iTunes Music Store (since renamed to the simpler and broader iTunes Store) had become ubiquitous in the market. Almost everyone, it seemed, had an iPod, and those few who did not, wanted one. Microsoft's hardware partners--Creative, iRiver, Samsung, and many others--just couldn't seem to field a device that garnered any attention at all, and Microsoft's online services partners--Napster, MusicMatch, and others--were even more hapless. Microsoft's tried and true business model, which succeeded in the PC business, had utterly failed in the digital media market. Apple, with a proprietary system that locked out competition and locked in consumers, had won.
