Microsoft’s iPod Competitor

Microsoft’s iPod Competitor – code named “Argo” (via Engadget)
If this is supposed to be an iPod killer, I think Microsoft is going to fail. Granted, this isn’t the final product yet, but this device looks completely unsexy. If the only difference is being locked into Microsoft’s DRM instead of Apple’s, I don’t think it will sell well.
At this time, the rumoured advantages over the iPod would be wifi capability and perhaps a large screen. Not bad benefits, but not enough to sway my spending.

We won’t know until we see it, touch it and feel it with our grimy little hands, now, will we? I’m sure the first iPods were not that sexy to users who didn’t know how to operate that bathroom scale thumbwheel in the middle of the player, either. Time will tell.
