J Allard as quoted in Business Week: “The iPod is the Palm or the Model T of digital music”
I’m really surprised to hear this coming from the guy who brought Xbox to life. It’s hard to imagine he’s really that brazen given Microsoft’s track record in creating successful hardware products. There’s nothing in Vista, Media Center or past music initiatives that makes me believe the upcoming Zune will be a success. And it just won’t have the coolness factor that draws so many people to the iPod. Who cares about the wi-fi capabilities of the Zune if all your friends carry iPods?
