Seems as though Microsoft's been doing more than just trying to take over Yahoo.
In another effort to try and dent the market dominance of Apple and the iPod, Zune will begin to playing video content on its portal devices. And one selling point for the Zune is that they will be offering the NBC content (The Office, Heroes, 30 Rock, etc) that Apple no longer has access to since that deal ended a while ago. Pricing will be about the same (though with all things Zune, the cost is in pre-paid "points").
I don't know if being able to see the latest episode of Heroes on a 3 inch screen is enough to get me to switch. I do like the idea that Microsoft is trying to grow the Zune. It may not be an iPod killer, but hopefully the competition will keep Apple on notice to keep improving the iPod or fall behind... and at that point don't we, the consumers, all win!
