Microsoft leaks Zune Details in FCC filing

cnet-declan writes "One of my colleagues at CNET News.com has picked up on a filing that Microsoft made yesterday with the FCC. Our article reports that Microsoft's Zune media player (the iPod rival discussed before on Slashdot) is going to have features such as creating mobile social networks and streaming music to nearby friends or strangers. It's going to support the 802.11b and 802.11g wireless standards, have a 30GB hard drive, support music, movies, and photos, and have a 3-inch screen. Is this finally enough to unseat Apple?"

    My iAudio X5L already has 30GB, photo and video display. It also plays OGG and FLAC, which I suspect the masses don't care about. They do, however, care if their MP3 player is a fashion item or not (which is why so many people advertise to muggers by walking everywhere with their player out in their hand), and let's face it, one thing Microsoft doesn't have is Apple's aura of letting you be cool and different, just like everyone else.

    I'm scared of numbers that can't be written as a fraction. It's an irrational fear.
