Microsoft's Zune looks to cut the cord

wifi: Rocky - you should know the answer to your question. It will play wma audio and wmv movies! Yeesh, this IS a Microsoft product. Their formats, their DRM, their rules, nobody else dare try to play nice with it.

As for wifi, I was beaten to the battery life punch. Seriously - with players making a selling point on small size, big features, light weight, and LONG BATTERY LIFE, how the heck will wifi fit into the picture? Zune sounds like it will be a MASSIVE player, with heavy batteries, lots of bulk, and SHORT battery life unless you disable the wifi connection - which removes one of the selling points!

Doomed to failure in an effort to oust iPods. Sure, they'll sell a few, but they won't win the market.; Posted by: Henaway Posted on: 07/25/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
