Microsoft's iPod Competitor!

what the hell is it supposed to be/do? is it just a tuner or does it have mp3 (probably wma *shudder*) capabilities? earphones? speaker?
It doesn't do much at all! It's basically just a tuner with a headphone socket. I guess I should've mentioned that in the original post, how stupid of me 
Edit: Oh, and it's got a built-in "mini torch" which is only bright enough to reach about 15 cm.

Sounds like a cheap giveaway to me, something a lot of companies do. I'd be surprised if they were advertising this...
is that a compass? I guess if you buy that piece of junk you need a compass cuz ur totally lost.
im surprised ms didnt just swipe and ipod and paint in XP colors, that would be more MS style

Why would you buy that when a) Everyone who listens to on the go music, other than in a car, knows that radio sucks no matter what city you live in. b) you can buy a 20 dollar CD player with a radio tuner?
Microshaft focuses on the SCHEDULE to get the product out, not the actual product.
I.E. > "We must ship something like this in 3 months. Wait its crappy? Oh well."
Maybe some day i'll understand their logic...
HAHA...when i first looked at the top picture i thought it had been photoshopped as a parody
Then i saw the second picture....oh man.
Re: Microsoft's iPod Competitor! er...right.
Wow what a stupid thread. Seriously. This is right up there with boxers vs. briefs.
I mean did it occur to ANYONE here that this is a cheap promotional gift?!?!? (Upon further reading of the thread I see that there are a few people that have the old synapses firing.)
Microsoft gives this crap away for free all the time. THINK for a second. Why would Microsoft put the Office logo on a radio it was going to sell?!?! In fact why would MS even bother to sell a radio to begin with?!?! Answer: They wouldn't.
Critical thinking people. Try it out one of these days.

OK, so it's not really any sort of competition to the iPod, but here's MS' latest attempt at a portable music player - the Microsoft Office Radio

Shouldn't that image read "stoned" instead of "owned"?
