Microsoft's answer to Apple's iPod is finally coming to Canada.

The Zune digital music player will go on sale on June 13.

It will be available in three different sizes and range in price from $139.99 to $249.99 Cdn.

The Zune supports video and pictures and users can listen to FM radio and also can share music, photos and audio p*o*dcasts with other Zune devices nearby.

What is different about the Zune is it's social networking, which allows users to do such things as see what music their friends are listening to and post their own music reviews.

Microsoft Canada spokeswoman Elana Zur says the social networking aspect sets the Zune apart from the iPod and also offers Canadian consumers another choice.

Fraser said these departments must develop a system for periodic review of their fee structures.
