  Is Microsoft's iPod killer coming Zune?
Time: 00:48 EST/05:48 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Sometimes, if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself. That appears to be the case with Microsoft, which, rumor has it, is preparing its own competitor to the iPod. Tired of seeing PlaysForSure devices failing to make significant inroads against the so-far unbeatable iPod-iTunes Music Store combo, Microsoft is apparently readying its own device to take Apple on directly.

In the week-and-a-half since the rumors sprung up, all sorts of details about what is being dubbed the Zune have emerged. Reportedly, the player will have a click-wheel interface similar to that of the iconic iPod. However, the hardware inside is reportedly much beefier. It will run Windows Mobile on a 400MHz DSP processor, contain a 30GB hard drive, and built-in WiFi.
