Steve Jobs not worried about Microsoft Zune
Apple Computer is the market leader when it comes to digital music player and store market. They sell the largest number of digital music players and are the leading seller of digital music as well.
Apple iPod continues to find new buyers and none of the other players are currently capable of challenging the domination of iPod.
However, Microsoft is one company which has the resources to take on Apple and they are doing exactly that. Microsoft is due to launch their Zune player next month and it comes with features not present in Apple iPod.
Nevertheless, Apple Computer Chief Executive Steve Jobs has said that they are not exactly worried about this emerging threat.
Steve Jobs said about the much talked about networking features of Microsoft Zune: “It takes forever. By the time you’ve gone through all that, the girl’s got up and left.”
He further spoke on iPod, which the market analysts claim is losing its coolness compared to the emerging players: “That’s like saying you don’t want to kiss your lover’s lips because everyone has lips. It doesn’t make any sense.”

ipods would be better if they weren’t manufactured in sweatshops, if they had a better audio processor, had serviceable batteries, had built in radio tuners and voice recorders, played a wider range of formats, could be used more like portable hard drives, had better screens, and had accessories that were priced somewhat reasonably. i will never buy an ipod, and i think the whole market for them only appeals to people with more dollars than sense.
Don’t agree.. I have 2 iPods (so far) and I find that they offer great sound (most important),have great looks (important) and are very easy to use (extremely important!).. they don;t overwhelm you with a dozen different button, equalisers, and what not.. I find the shuffle just great for workouts because of this.
iPods will always sell. And though i don;t have too many dollars, I still think they are worth the price
The only thing i don´t like in Ipod’s, it’s they do not work as a USB Pen drive directly, we must carry the cable with it, to do that function, or bye an accessory to do that, wich doesn’t make any difference , it’s another ” thing” we must carry…
Some MP3 players have that “attached”.
Apart from that, they have a great sound, and they are beautiful.. they do what they are built for, perfectly: reproduce music,and, with a beautiful look.
I don’t have many dollars.. but i have one, and i like it a lot..
Please excuse my bad english, but i´m portuguese ( from Portugal, a little, beautiful country, just beside Spain, in Europe), and i don’t speak very well english.
