Jobs doesn’t see threat to iPod

Apple Computer doesn't expect the iPod media player to be hurt by Microsoft's Zune, Chief Executive Steve Jobs said in a magazine interview. Microsoft has touted Zune, a portable media player due to be launched in the United States in time for the holiday shopping season, as a potential threat to the dominant iPod because of its ability to share music wirelessly. <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2031067,00.asp?kc=EWNAVEMNL101606EOAD">Jobs was equally unconcerned</A> about the prospect of the iPod losing its cool factor as it becomes increasingly ubiquitous.
