Microsoft Zune

By now you've probably read about the new Microsoft Zune MP3 Player, to be released soon and aimed at bringing down the iTunes/iPod empire.

We now have an unofficial image of the player and some details thanks to Gizmodo:

First off, that scroll wheel you see? That's not a wheel. It's just four buttons arranged in a wheel formation.


So they want to kind of copy the iPod, but not enough to be seen as a copycat. Or maybe they just can't come up with their own design.

I might be wrong, but I really don't see this new device de-throning Apple anytime soon, or at all. But if Apple doesn't come out with a new iPod, who knows?
