Microsoft's Plans For Handheld Game Player And "iPod Killer" | |

Here's a story that came from reporting for my book, which is coming out in May under the title "The Xbox 360 Uncloaked: The Real Story Behind Microsoft's Next-Generation Video Game Console," www.spiderworks.com/xbox360. In a bid to capture the huge audience for handheld entertainment gadgets, Microsoft is designing a product that combines video games, music and video in one handheld device, according to sources familiar with the project. The Microsoft product would compete with Sony, Nintendo and Apple Computer's products, including the iPod. And Microsoft has some of its most seasoned talent from the division that created its popular Xbox 360 working on it. Game executive J Allard leads the project, and its director is Greg Gibson, who was the system designer on the Xbox 360 video game console. Bryan Lee, the finance chief on the Xbox business, is leading the business side of the project. | ||

| Great, the 360 team is working on it. So they will rush it to market before it is ready. |

I love how this is about the 4th time MS/Sony is coming out with an "ipod Killer" i wish people would give up using that term, maybe go with "ipod victim" as thats all they have ended up being. This post was edited by Byron_Hinson[AW] on Monday, March 20, 2006 at 13:26. |

| I wish I could use my iPod as a phone, shoot, it already stores contacts, calendars, games, etc... |
