Zune Versus iPod and where is the Zen ppl???

Well old news actually... as always =P


its hard to keep up to date with the news and my strength has waned alittle after my exams =P

Anyways the Zune was announced online for quite awhile, but just recently announced in the Singapore media.

no links today, but just my view.

I think the Zune is important.

Very important. Why?



It does what Creative cannot do.


Maybe Steve Jobs thinks he can bring the opposite bank to him while Creative has to wade through the water.

But you know what?

What Steve can do, Bill can do too (I dunno about better ;P)

Point is?


Microsoft has enough muscle both financially and technological (style would be hard, but since when has that stopped the blue giant.. opps that used to be IBM no?) to put a dent in Apple's dominance.


Remember we have been through this before. Except Apple is no longer the minnow, but how has Apple/Macintosh survived all this while.


Niche.


Fanbase.


The hardcore Mac users kept Apple alive for Steve Jobs to kickstart.

Hey miracles happen in an instant, but it happens because there was a faithful following, just like revolutions, (or God if you are feeling spiritual =P).

You know what? Creative is waiting in the wings for a miracle.

And it can happen.


Why?


cos its Creative ;)


Zune will kick open the market and break the vice like grip of Apple on the mpeplayer market.

You know how to spot the change?

When you start calling mp3players mp3players rather than ipod.

And yah Creative will survive, mabbe not take over the market like it so boldly challenged. But it will survive. And Zune's move will only make its presence stronger =)
