Microsoft Set To Dethrone Apple

Head of Microsoft's Digital Media Division, Erik Huggers says, "Come this fall there is going to be a number of devices that get close to competing with Apple's iPod, there is going to be a whole lineup of products that can compete with Apple in industrial design, usability, functionality and features."

A Jupiter Research Analyst says that it will take a lot to knock Apple off of their iPod laden throne, but it can be done if Microsoft does it right.

People around the blogs were worried that Sony's PSP would have an effect on iPod sales as it is a game machine along with a media player. The stocks haven't seen the effect of the PSP and neither have I. I see people in the airport with PSP's, but using iPod headphones. They most likely have both rivaling media players. I doubt Microsoft will have what it takes to put a scratch into Apple's marble throne.

Words to Microsoft: Bring it on!
