Urge to Zune as iTunes to iPod


Download the latest copy of Windows Media Player 11 and you will see an online store called Urge.

Given the level of integration the Zune has with Windows Media Player it will probably copy the hugely successful iTunes.com music store model. Urge has more than two million songs available for download.

Although the technical specifications haven't yet been released, Microsoft has confirmed that the Zune will come with inbuilt wireless networking, allowing you to update your music over a wireless network. None of the rival players yet have this function.

Redmond (WA) - Microsoft today introduced what the company hopes will challenge the market dominance of Apple's Ipod. Zune is the first media player in this segment to offer Wi-Fi connectivity and carries a name that will allow Microsoft to create a competing brand and product family.
