Zune details revealed
Recent FCC filings have revealed previously rumored features of Microsoft's upcoming Zune player. The Zune player will use a 30GB hard drive as rumored, support 802.11g wireless as well as FM radio, and will stream music to nearby Zune players in addition to letting users bookmark songs they would like to purchase later. Microsoft has not assumed responsibility for manufacturing the Zune as it has for its Xbox consoles, however: the FCC documentation describes the Zune as the "Toshiba 1089 Portable Media Player," indicating that Microsoft sought the expertise of the Gigabeat series creator for the final product, rather than control the entire process itself, according to Electronista.

Gigabeat?
I hope the creator of the Gigabeat has some new ideas - the Gigabeat is one of the ugliest of all MP3 players. Just look and you can tell it doesn't work very well.
