Virgin's New iPod Rival

Posted by timothy on Wednesday October 13, 2004 @12:12AM 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.

Every man and his dog is making an "iPod killer" these days.
I thought the iPod killer was the iPod mini?

Seamless? I have yet to get iTunes to even recognize my ipod. I've tried numerous times over the past year or so. However, third party applications can access it fine.
