Wow, this is the first time reading a tech blog where the comments section isnt filled with complete hate for zune and love for ipod. I own an ipod touch, and completely love it (first apple product in like 10 years), but as much as i love it, I might have to grab a zune now. If they can somehow integrate a good control method (my biggest complaint against games on itouch/phone) then I think this could be a real killer device, even if it dosn't catch on in the public eye, because its not an apple product.
In no way am I ragging on either apple or MS in this post.
Now it's just a matter of how big the HDD is. Odds are it won't be big enough. I could go with 64GB with some sacrifices. Why can't any of these companies pair a HDD with a touchscreen anyway!?
@Kiamat: HDDs add massive bulk, and also make it much more fragile. Plus no matter what, you will never have enough space, people will always want more. I know your not the norm, but most people dont need 64gigs of space I have an 8gig ipod, and i have hit the ceiling, but i wouldnt need more then 32 for a good year or two easily.
@Mario Hernandez: With Microsoft's current price model, this could end up at the same pricetag, but I'm wondering how they'll get this plus the OLED display to come in at the same price (or better) at the same or better display.
so squeeze in a few antennas, accelerometer, gps chip, compass doo-hickey, 5.0 mp camera, maybe a slide out keyboard and we're all set. anyone keepin' an eye out for job postings by microsoft in this field? hopefully we're well beyond that stage, though.

Is Nintendo inadvertently teaching children about real life?
