Microsoft's Zune

Microsoft is releasing Zune Mp3 Player late september. Its official announcement can be found here http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2006/sep0... .        It is very late that Microsoft is entering into Mp3 player market. It is not sure whether it is going to compete with Apple's iPod, which has been in market for long time and has introduced versions of it.

The features are tied with many disadvantages. International call facility is not used by users largely outside US and also not widely used by PC users who prefer to chat with from PC to PC rather.  Talking with MSN users, if it has been done long ago.. which includes only typing (chat) facility then it would have been a success.
