		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s ridiculous to comment on a product that has no credible evidence of even existing.  Let&#039;s see if / when Microsoft makes it&#039;s next move.  To date, we know that Microsoft is not capable of designing better software or hardware as compared to Apple, especially in a mobile device.  Unless Microsoft does something completely revolutionary, it doesn&#039;t have a chance.  Just doing another lame Zune copy of the latest iPod isn&#039;t going to cut it.  It hasn&#039;t cut it over the past few years and won&#039;t cut it in the future.

The xBox is a nice gaming platform, but there is absolutely no link between a cutting edge console and portable device that must rely on low power consumption, etc. and will have very different controls.  Having a successful console does not translate into automatic success in the handheld market.  Further, Apple&#039;s iPod Touch, etc. (both hardware and software) are a moving target.

Now, let&#039;s just wait for an actual Microsoft announcement before we proceed to guess what they may be up to.]]></description>
