Zen Uses iTunes To Try To Compete
09.07.07 - 02:01pm
Perhaps since no one has been able to beat out Apples iTunes a way to try to compete with Apple is being sprung from another angle - that of a player that can use iTunes. Apple has received their very first competition from a player that supports iTunes AAC music tracks, however with the launch of Apple’s new iPods paying $300 for the 16gb rather than getting the iTouch 8gb or the iPod Classic with 160gb for the same price seems criminal.
The players comes from Creative and is in their Zen line. The new Zens are credit card sized measuring 55×83x12 mm and weighing 2.1 ounces. They have a 2.5 inch color LCD screen which supports up to 16.7 million colors in 320×240 px.
The new Zen player not only supports the AAC tracks but also MP3 and WMA formats allowing a user to buy music from pretty much any store they want to.
