Cube Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 According to The Seattle Times, Microsoft are currently working on this media player: It boasts Wi-Fi compatibility with the X-Box 360 for both downloading and streaming music. It will also (apparently) be able to play games. No information on price, but its set for release this xmas.
Charlie Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I saw on a website (Engadget maybe?) that it had changed it's name to something else, but again, I can't remeber what it was It was on Digg if that's a help.
Guest Jordan Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Argo, no doubt it'll be kinda crap like the Origmi (sp)? project. And how can you possibly play games on that?
Pit-Jr Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 according to some other website, 1up i think, its not a game player, just music and possibly video or not i just reread it, apparently its a whole line of media products eventually including a game player http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3152053
Cube Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 Oh, forgot the source. http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news.php?newsId=3919 Yea, it mentions the "Zune", the source of that name also has no mention of playing games on it. So, a line of products seems likely (the 1up link doesnt work)
Pit-Jr Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 well heres what the report says Seattle Times columnist Brier Dudley recently spoke with a source close to the project, gathering that Microsoft's bid for the iPod is actually a complete line of Xbox-branded "digital media products" -- currently code-named Argo -- that are meant not only to challenge Apple, but also Nintendo and Sony's handheld machines, too. If this pans out as rumored, we're looking at a three-way hardware ware on both gaming fronts soon.
conzer16 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 So looks like Microsoft are taking on Sony, Nintendo and Apple all in one go there... Thats pretty ballsy
Marshmellow Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 i need a new media player tired of iPods maybe if i hear some some more good things about it I'll get it.
DiemetriX Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 And how can you possibly play games on that? put it side ways. Thumb on the circle and use the remainding hand on the touchscreen.
Ramar Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 And how can you possibly play games on that? Maybe when it says games its crap little games like the iPod has.
