Microsoft: iPod Killer Just Rumors … Or … ?

Earlier this week Jimmy wrote about a possible WiFi Media Player being developed by Microsoft. Late in the week, Microsoft had its own statement: Nah.

Microsoft has said reports that the company is planning an MP3 player to rival the iPod are based on “speculation and rumours”. The software giant and games console firm said it did not “have anything to announce at this time”. Source: BBC News

We Say: I think Microsoft is tired of waiting for Creative or whoever to come up with something to rival the iPod. Besides Jimmy’s post, I wrote even earlier, here and here about possible iPod killers. I hate to put this in print, but I think there is a very good chance this is real and I hope (if all goes well in R&D-land) to see it by Christmas for the holiday rush.
