I linked back to the Appleinsider article talking about the same thing your link talked about-- how it lasts "for years". I guess my wording was just a little confusing :) I may have to re-write that sentence.Also, from what I gather, Alexandria would be a music store similar to iTunes. I agree, I like the look of the iPods. I think Apple has done well establishing themselves with it. I think Microsoft is in for a long battle to gain any share of the market with this one. Who knows what will happen..... Hi Max, in saying that “If only the rumor about the iPod only lasting for four years was true” I meant that it wasn’t.

The only way I could see it competing with iTunes is if the songs are prices dramatically lower or have less protection (able to put the song on more PCs or something). Because in my opinion, the iPod is better looking than the Zune (or at least the model that we saw) by a lot and Microsoft isn't going to take any market share away from Apple by their player's appeal. Also, Ashley, where you wrote about the rumor that the iPod lasts four years, that's not what really happened according to: http://www.ipodobserver.com/story/27766 and other sources.
