Details of Next Gen Zune Surface

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the better-luck-next-time dept.

KMG writes "Zune Scene has got a scoop about the next generation Microsoft Zune. There will be two new models; a flash memory based and a hard drive based. Zune with HDD will be thinner and have larger storage capacity while the flash based will feature Wi-fi, video playback. So will we see another try from Microsoft to beat Apple's iPod or it will be another vain attempt from the Redmond guys."

    do you really need to tote around your ENTIRE collection in your pocke For the last time .. YES I FUCKING DO!!!!!!

    The reason is that with a larger collection, lets say 12,000 songs, who wants to spend the time to pick which 8,000 song to sync to the device?????

    And when I want to hear something, I want to hear it!

    So, I will not buy an MP3 player that doesn't hold my entire collection of music. I also want TV shows and movies. Eventually I plan to put every movie and TV show I own on DVD onto my computer and sync it to my iPod.

    I like hard drives. I'm not a child - I can carry around an iPod without dropping it.
