Apparently I am not the only one who things Microsoft may miss the mark. Here is what Dvorak said:
“We saw this coming a mile away. Better than iPOD? That ’s not the key. The key is to be “hotter” and “cooler” than iPOD. No easy chore. Microsoft is not up to this challenge. Go for the portable gaming device, not this!”
And here is a comment I posted on Digg.com about this:
I agree with a great deal of what has been written. I think the truth of the matter is any challenger needs to have a blend of function, style, and ease of operation. But don’t overlook the importance of Itunes. That is a key distinction here. If MS can emulate all of those factors, including Itunes, and improve on any of them, it has a chance. But with MS wins with the Xbox notwithstanding, experience with Windows Mobile platforms indicates that they may be a tall hill to crest for MS.
