More Infos on Microsoft's iPod Slayer

Even if the iPod fever is extending with the speed of light, numerous manufacturers tried to develop a rival which would counterstrike this gadget that has been turned into an multimedia icon.

If you remember, the iPod's designer was awarded last year by the Queen of Great Britain, an iPod fan herself, and some miners who were trapped for several days inside a mine received food, clothes and iPods.

But the main backer of this worldwide iPod conspiracy, codenamed 'The iPod Killer', is, in fact, the software giant - Microsoft, which has denied its implication for a long time. However, its confirmed 'iPod Killer' is now said to have several targets - the DS Lite, the PSP, and Apple's iPod.

Consequently, Microsoft's all-in-one player will be able to playback movies, music and games, having also Wi-Fi capabilities. What do you think about that?

And now the big question is: Can a vulnerable Microsoft create a perfect Lite-PSP-iPod slayer? Everyone is wondering because Bill Gates is packing his bags, other big guys take over the business and the gadget fans just can get enough of their iPod.

The Seattle Times has given some new and juicy infos on the 'portable Xbox'. It seems that it will pack almost all the multimedia features of the famous Xbox and it will also benefit from several partners online services or hardware expertise.

The key of a future success of an iPod killer is an all new capability, different from the one offered by Apple's player. And they found it! It's the Wi-Fi connectivity and, moreover, support for XNA gaming content, and the XBox Live feature. But the previous agreement signed with Urge/MTV will probably turn out to be also an advantage for the project, as the Killer will benefit, almost certainly, from an important music supplier.
