Gates Talks MP3 Player Plans With High School Students
Sunday, February 12th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Brad Cook
Speaking at Microsoft's annual Minority Student Day, Bill Gates was asked by a high school student if Microsoft will be developing its own MP3 player to take on the iPod. According to Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter Todd Bishop,, Mr. Gates acknowledged that "Apple has done a fantastic job with the iPod" and then said: "We're seeing where we [and our partners] can come together to make a device that's less expensive and connects in better ways, does photos and videos in better ways."
He also said that he didn't see "the final answer" among the devices currently on the market, predicting that "between us and our partners, you can expect to see some pretty hot products coming out over the next couple of years." While Mr. Gates didn't directly answer the student's question, Mr. Bishop noted: "There have been signs that Microsoft is at least mulling the possibility of changing its approach and coming out with its own portable music or gaming device."
