Microsoft’s J Allard told Reuters that gaming on a portable music player has been done before, but badly (undoubtedly pointing to iPod games), so it’s a tricky proposition for them to do well—meaning they’ll have to figure that out first before diving in.

However, both are a possibility, because the new Zune OS is built on top of Windows CE, the underlying technology for Windows Mobile and Gizmondo. [Reuters]
