Current Events


Microsoft releases new competition against Apple:
Microsoft's new mp3 player, the "Zune" is alot like Apple's Ipod...
It has 30 gigabytes of space (equal to about 7500 songs) and is capable of storing music or photos
The catch is that you can connect wirelessly to someone else's Zune and transfer music right on the spot.
The only downside to that is shared songs are deleted after 3 days of listening.
Another downside is that the Zune is not capable of storing or watching videos.
"This is a design mistake" says Rob Enderle (analyst for the Enderle group)
This week, Apple executive director Steve Jobs revealed the new and improved ipods to hold off microsoft from being to proactive about it.
The next step is creating mp3 players that connect directly to the internet and tv.

Josh -

I like your topic. It defintely shows how technology plays to your interests. You do a nice job analyzing the Zune and illustrating a comparative analysis to the Ipod. I felt like I was reading an editorial from a techno-savy blogger. Keep up the good work. I woudl also like to see you introduce some critical analysis of the literary tools that often accompany writing.

Good work

Mr. A
