Microsoft have announced that they are to release a new Zune player to try and contend with Apple’s iPod Touch.
The Zune player will have a 3.3″ touch screen and will host HD Radio, HD Video, XBox 360 compatibility and inbuilt Wi-Fi features.
My prediction is that the Zune will continue to not be hugely successful. The iPod touch controls this market with over 13 million units sold. Microsoft’s hold on the OS market is dipping with more people making ‘the switch’ from Windows to Mac after Microsoft’s ‘blow-out’ with Windows Vista and Apple’s unpresidented publicity.
Apple controls the music player market with the iPod and for the foreseeable future they will continue to do so.
