Rumor: Microsoft Developing iPod Killer - Walaika K. Haskins, News Factor
Reports began circulating on Friday that Microsoft has started laying the foundation for new products that will challenge both the iPod and the iTunes online music store. Citing sources "familiar with the discussions and plans," Reuters reported on Friday that the software giant is going through all the motions of creating a new device and music platform but will not confirm its plans. A Microsoft-branded device and music service would represent a significant departure for the company, which, to date, has relied on partnerships rather than its own products. Urge, a joint venture between Microsoft and MTV, is one recent example.
