Zune is too slow

Apple's founding CEO Steve Jobs has dismissed Microsoft's upcoming competitor Zune flippantly, saying its music sharing technology is too slow.

"It takes forever," Mr Jobs told Newsweek in an interview posted on the magazine's web site on Sunday. "By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left."

In the interview with Steven Levy, Jobs also explained how Apple convinced music companies to open their warehouses to iTunes and not to raise prices.
