In This Year's Stocking: Microsoft's wireless media player

It appears Microsoft's long-rumoured media player will be available before Christmas. This could be a welcome addition to my Golden Age of Content -assuming it is done right. According to paidcontent.org, This player will allow users to download content over the air.

While this in itself is a cause for excitement, think of where this can lead. Imagine automatically receiving audio histories as you walk into a city's old quarter, or regularly updated traffic tips, or user-specific music as you go shopping (no more Bing at Christmas time!).

Time to start drafting that letter to Santa.
