… Atlas, VSTO, and Zune
This past week I posted a couple of announcements to the site. If you messed
them, check out:
VSTO 2005 SE Beta Now Available
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,2qa3,1,g5hh,iflh,jorm,i5r0
“Atlas” is no more…
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,2qa3,1,hjzq,iig2,jorm,i5r0
Of course these events are greatly overshadowed by the Zune news. Zune has
been the topic of discussion for many months, but this week Microsoft
brought the news to a peak by officially announcing the Zune technology and its
specifications. Will this new device be an iPod killer? Time will tell. In
the first release it is doubtful; however, with enough time and money
(something Microsoft seems to have both of), the possibility is there.
The Zune will differ from the iPod video players in that it will have a
slightly larger screen (3 inches instead of 2.5). More importantly, it
will have wireless communications and an FM tuner built in. This gives the Zune
a tad bit more versatility than the iPod. If you run into someone else with a
Zune and want to listen to the same song they are, they can simply wirelessly
transmit it to you. Of course, there will be some DRM restrictions, but
that is to be expected.
Will that be enough? Time will tell. Cost of a Zune is predicted to be
slightly less than an iPod.
In my opinion, I see one issue that could keep the Zune from taking over the
iPod. The marketing for iPod has been fantastically simple for the most
part. If Microsoft tries to oversell and over ‘marketize’ the product packaging
and advertising, then they could truly miss the mark. We’ll see how this goes
between now and Christmas!
