I wonder what this means for PlaysForSure devices. Microsoft has a way of making sure its devices work better than stuff that should be 'compatible' and feature complete. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Microsoft could get a competitive advantage if it can be the first big-name company to offer a wireless device. An open question, though, is whether Apple is planning any sort of wireless iPod this year. While adding wireless abilities could give the Zune a leg up on Apple, it also presents technological challenges. Rivals already struggle to compete with the simplicity of the iPod, analysts say.
