Tech and Gadget Wars of all Time

5. Zune vs iPod

Microsoft rolled out Zune in 2006, making an attempt to competitive with Apple which has been producing iPod since 2001. The Apple iPod is a high-capacity MP3 player, with a rich legacy dating back to 2001. Its rival, the Microsoft Zune, stepped on the scene and was promptly cast as an ugly duckling. In its latest incarnation, the Zune, Microsoft has finally presented a worthy challenger to the iPod dynasty.

When it comes down to the best, the Zune is dominating with features that Apple simply does not seem interested in. But loaded with many features zune looses over iPod, because many users are the zune’s performance was dull both in terms of unit sales and functionality. In October 2011 Microsoft announced that it would no longer support zune and would instead focus on its smartphone. It seems to indicate that Apple is already victorious.
