Microsoft is expected to launch an MP3 player-cum-portable console..it will directly compete with IPOD and Sony PSP...mura ni cya XBOX portable with a media player..we'll just see if it will be a hit or a miss

“It can’t just be our version of the iPod,” said Peter Moore, the chief of Xbox division at Microsoft. So in addition to playing music and videos, a Microsoft device would include games. Microsoft would probably use the Xbox brand to market the gadget. “I think the brand is an opportunity,” Moore said.

The gaming nature of the device would put it into position to compete against Sony’s PlayStation Portable, in addition to the iPod music player. In fact, selling players means some additional revenue for Microsoft – Apple sold 14 million iPod players during the Q4 2005 – and also some profits from selling digital music. Theoretically, Microsoft would also benefit from selling games for mobile flavour of the Xbox.
