Later'd be fine
Microsoft's iPod competitor, Zune, gets a serve for taking exactly the same line of attack Microsoft always takes: substandard features, not considering much of what users actually want, promising much to come in next version, big marketing, lots of buy-in from partners, uber-strong on copy protection, etc etc.
Competition is good and all. But what, exactly, is the point of the Zune? It seems like an awful lot of duplication — in a bigger, heavier form with fewer features — just to indulge Microsoft’s “we want some o’ that” envy. Wireless sharing is the one big new idea — and if the public seems to respond, Apple could always add that to the iPod.
