How Microsoft Zune and Sony's Mylo look like chipods
 

I just thought it was interesting that both Microsoft and sony are releasing their own MP4/MP3/PMP players, called the Zune and Mylo respectively and both look like MPX Players, take a look:

Alright they don't look exactly the same, but they are similar and both MPX players have been around long before the design for both Sony and Microsoft players were publically released.

I agree.

When I first saw the Zune, I immediately thought about the MPx players.

Humm, I wonder how 'hackable' they are? Or whether they can be modified?

i am sure someone will find a way to alter the zune and mylo, they are actually a lot more complex than a ipod and have many more functions, the zune comes with wifi!!!!!! This all means 'hackers' will be able to roll out some sweet mods for them.

The mylo is supposed to be a mix between a ipod/pda/cellphone, but its also expensive.
