Microsoft Corp. on Thursday released details of its upcoming Zune portable media player and online store, two days after Apple Computer released major upgrades of its competing product line.

While the Zune products won't be available until the holiday season, Microsoft apparently is trying to draw attention away from Apple's market dominating iPod player and iTunes store.

While the two companies' offerings are similar, the Zune includes at least one feature missing from the iPod: the ability to move content wirelessly. Zune users will be able to transfer tunes and photos between devices. Transferred songs, however, can only be played a maximum of three times over three days, unless the person buys it from Microsoft or other supporting music store.
