Microsoft said Friday it plans to release a new music and entertainment player and accompanying software under the "Zune" brand this year, in a belated attempt to challenge the dominance of Apple's iPod player.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.

It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
Move music from the player to the PC. I hate that about my Ipod, I re-formatted my HD, and now my ipod is stuck with my "old" mp3's on it, because it thinks its a different PC.
I know there is software, but unless you pay for it, you can only do like two or three songs.
Apple's Copy Protection is way too stringent, If you buy a new PC you cant add or remove songs, its basically dead.
I wish MS the best of luck. I can't stand the iPod. It is probably one of the most overated consumer electonic devices out there. There are half a dozen other MP3 players out there that cost the same but are better devices.
I am excited to see how MS's device will sync with the 360.
Instead of being a PSP or even DS like device, this new "combined media" player will show video clips, let you listen to and manage MP3's and other music files... and also let you play any Live Arcade game you have purchased on the go, at no extra charge. This seems far more likely to me that the multi-media mess Sony made of the PSP...
yea i am probably gunna just wait for this sucker to come out and buy it. might as well, for what people as saying what it can do, it will be a good handheld, and a sure purchase for me
iPod will be hard to beat, I love my 360 ut I don't think ill be swapping my Nano for the 'Zune'
:(
