The GDC (Games Developer Conference) is an extremely important conference for game developers everywhere. It has a long-ish history of holding these conferences for covering every possible aspect of game development for all conceivable platforms. They usually hold two days of ‘Summits’ before the main set of keynote addresses and other things start happening. Within those summits, there is the GDC Mobile summit which discusses every mobile platform there is. This included the iPhone up until the last time.

Had this been in the near past, I would’ve laughed at the title too. Since when has Zune been a threat to any personal media player, let alone it being a threat to the iPod? Now however, things have changed. It seems like the new Zune HD might have a fighting chance against Apple.
For example, this time round people at least know that something called the Zune HD is coming. Sure, many won’t ever know that the Zune line existed long before the new Zune HD and that Microsoft has actually killed off all the other Zunes. But now that the Zune HD is shaping up much better than all the other Zunes, Apple may have something to worry about. Jump to the other side for a full feature-by-feature comparison.
