Virgin's New iPod Rival

Posted by timothy on from the like-a-virgin dept.

iammaxus writes "CNET has the scoop on Virgin's new iPod killer. Favorite quote: 'Virgin said support for open standards such as WMA will let people select the music service of their choice.'" While this doesn't look like a bad player, it's the same price as an iPod mini (and incompatible with the most popular pay-per-download site), so calling it an iPod killer seems a bit premature.

    I tried the ipod desktop client once in a store. It sucked (It actually crashed when I was using it). They really don't need to try very hard to beat that.

    First off you know nothing. The rail system in the UK is in fact crap. The only rail system in the world that actually works is JR in Japan.
