Microsoft
has confirmed that it plans to ship a rival to
Apple's
iPod portable music player
this year.
The software giant will launch a hardware device and accompanying software
products under the 'Zune' brand. Microsoft did not give out any further details.
Speculation about the
Microsoft
iPod rival surfaced earlier this month, following the launch of the
Urge digital
music service together with MTV. The service competes with Apple's iTunes.
Apple's combination of
iPod and
iTunes has allowed it to gain a firm grip on the digital music market.
The Zune devices are expected to start shipping in time for Christmas.
