Microsoft finally commented yesterday on the recent iPod Killer reports as Scott M. Fulton, III describes at TG Daily:
In a carefully worded response this morning, a Microsoft spokesperson denied his company’s participation in a demonstration of a portable music device capable of wireless networking to music industry executives, calling a Bloomberg report on Wednesday and a Associated Press report this morning “speculation and rumors.” However, the spokesperson stopped short of denying a demonstration of such a device from someone took place.“For the stories you are seeing,” the spokesperson wrote TG Daily, “they are based on speculation and rumors and, as such, Microsoft didn’t participate.
