Microsoft Officially Confirms Zune
Posted Jul 22, 2006 at 12:55AM EST by QJ Staff

ZuneAfter a lot of back and forth, rumors and denials, Microsoft has now confirmed that the name of its new brand of multimedia devices will be Zune. As expected, the project will focus on music primarily - at least for the time being. As hinted in an interview with Billboard Magazine, depending on the success of the devices, a gaming-oriented Zune product might eventually see the light of the day. But it's safe to say that for now, Microsoft aims to compete with Apple, not Sony and Nintendo.

Chris Stephenson, General Manager at Microsoft, commented, "Under the Zune brand, we will deliver a family of hardware and software products, the first of which will be available this year. We see a great opportunity to bring together technology and community to allow consumers to explore and discover music together.”

The first incarnation of Zune is set to arrive within the year, and employees working on the project have noted that with Zune, Microsoft is approaching multimedia in a holistic way, providing not only connectivity with as many Windows-powered devices as possible, but perhaps more importantly, trying to build a community, a social music network that enables users to connect with others to "discover new music and entertainment".

it willl flop 1 first off windows media player is the worst player to use as a media manager the only thing i use it for is to play wmv when i need to on it or avi's second probally the reason ipod is sucssefull is the ease of use it uses with itunes since the ipod has came out itunes has been built pretty much around on how the ipod works n i think thats one of the sell points and the fact that apple has' 73-75 percent of the market share it will take a few years for microsoft to catch up to it
