More coming from the Borg from over at neowin.net:

"Microsoft Corp...will begin selling portable music players for as much as 80 percent less than Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod. The Microsoft-branded devices will "look and feel" as good as the iPod for as little as $50, said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of MSN at Microsoft Corp., at the Goldman Sachs fifth annual Internet Conference in Las Vegas. The iPod sells for $249 to $499. Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash., will release a number of music players when it launches its online music service later this year, giving customers more choices than Apple, Mehdi said."

The attempts at monopolization continue...

All well, hopefully the player will be decent and actually worth more than it's $50 pricetag. I haven't had the chance to pick myself an MP3 player up yet.
