"When this newcomer to the field of portable music players, the Microsoft XPOD, is placed side-by-side with Apple's supposed "best player on the market" iPod, it should be obvious which one is the superior. With no carrying handle, fragile docking connector, lack of solid buttons, and easily-losable size going against it, Apple's iPod loses out to the clear winner. It is only a matter of time before the Microsoft XPOD has displaced that inferior unit from the market completely."
