""No-one else has the same sort of brand energy that Apple or Virgin has. Plus, our heritage is music," said Greg Woock, chief executive of Virgin Electronics. "Apple is dominating, yes, but the market share that it has today is not going to last."

The Virgin Player has 20 per cent more storage capacity than the iPod Mini. It is slightly larger but lighter.

Virgin claims it has eight hours of continuous playback time on its rechargeable lithium ion battery - the same as the iPod Mini."

"Unlike the iPod, the Virgin Player includes an FM tuner. But it has another notable difference: while the Virgin Player is fully integrated with its sister online music store, Virgin Digital, it also plays tunes purchased from other online music services that use the Windows Media Audio or MP3 formats."
