Microsoft+Zune+v.+iPOD



I find that Microsoft Zune will have minimal or even no chance of even facing up to the God of all mp3's, the Apple ipod. If you look at Apple's recent accomlishments with its success in sales and its marketing campaigns, Apple has already built a tough infrastructure around its own ipod business. For Microsoft Zune to even come close to competing would definitely pave a very long tough road in front of them.

I am opening this up for discussion and I want to hear YOUR feedbacks on whether Apple will continue to dominate the mp3 world or if the Zune will succeed in the world of apples. :)

Take into consideration:

A) Apple has already managed to integrate the iPod into daily life. They have been formed together with 70 percent of the 2007 model cars. Furthermore, Apple has now partnered with many of the commercial airlines integrating their iPod into in-flight entertainment systems.

B) Apple already has a critical mass to thwart the new features on the Zune. I dont think there will be enough Zune users to allow this ability to thrive. Apple has already sold more than 70 million iPods. It could integrate wireless connectivity in their next generation iPods and make allow this capability to thrive in the near future.
