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. Jobs was equally unconcerned about the prospect of the iPod losing its cool factor as it becomes increasingly ubiquitous.
