The software maker Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday released a slimmer version, and renewed its Zune digital media player, in another attempt to compete with Apple's iPod.
The Zune HD touch screen, which has radio and wi-fi, is priced somewhat lower than the comparable Apple iPod Touch to try to gain market share in the holiday season this year in the United States.
Microsoft says that the device claims to have a technical superiority over the iPod, with a display of organic light-emitting diodes the newest and the ability to transmit high-definition video to televisions.
However, there is not generating an impact on the iPod, which dominated from among digital music players after its launch in 2001 and now controls more than 70 percent of the market.
Microsoft announced the value of new models last month, setting the black version of its 16 gigs at $ 219.99 and platinum from 32 gigs worth of $ 289.99. Also available in red, green and blue.
At the time, those numbers were far below that charged $ 399 for Apple iPod Touch 32 gigs, but since then Apple lowered its value and now offers an updated version with the same memory for $ 299. He also launched a Touch with 64 gigs and video camera in your model iPod Nano.
