M$ Planning IPod Killer - allowing free download of itunes songs.

An interesting article about rumors of the "Ipod Killer" by microsoft.  I love the idea of them allowing us to download songs that only work on the ipod...but I bet they have their OWN version of DRM.  No way they'll be free and clear audio files.

Microsoft planning WiFi-enabled portable media player, working on MVNO for next year - Engadget:

"But it gets better. To attract current iPod users Microsoft is going to let you download for free any songs you've already bought from the iTunes Music Store. They'll actually scan iTunes for purchased tracks and then automatically add those to your account. Microsoft will still have to pay the rights-holders for the songs, but they believe it'll be worth it to acquire converts to their new player."
