Ipod Going Zune Style With WiFi
04.18.07 - 11:29am
The Zune was the first to come out with Wi-Fi in a little music device and while it certainly didn’t make it overpower the iPod in any way it did point out a distinct feature the iPod lacked. Now rumors are abounding that the iPod will be releasing a Wi-Fi enabled iPod in the second half of 2007.
According to reports from Digitimes the new iPods’ Wi-Fi modules will be produced by Universal Scientific Industrial and Foxconn will perform as the OEM assembler.
A Wi-Fi iPod is almost a must as competition is heating up in the world of MP3 players. Even as Apple was patting itself on the back for breaking the 100 million mark of iPods sold, SanDisk was releasing their new MP3 player which allows users to wirelessly download songs through a Wi-Fi network, and gives them access with an $11.99 monthly paid subscription to as many songs as they wish to download.
