How Microsoft Can Beat The iPod
posted by Editor on Monday July 17, @06:02PM
Mobile Computing Interfaces This article in MIT Technology Review lists seven directions that Microsoft should pursue with its rumored competitor to the Apple iPod. The article makes the following suggestions:
  • Maintain simplicity, i.e. don't use Windows as the device's internal operating system;
  • Deliver an improved online media store interface with better navigation than iTunes;
  • Allow users to trade music and videos wirelessly with others who are within Wi-Fi range;
  • Relax sharing restrictions enforced by its Digital Rights Management (DRM) system;
  • Focus on the requirements of Podcasters and Vodcasters;
  • Integrate support for time-shifting broadcast radio and TV programming; and
  • Provide a more reliable battery.
