Microsoft Normally we try not to report on music players, but since this concerns Microsoft's direct attack on Apple's music player, it's actually somewhat interesting. "Microsoft's forthcoming Zune player is shooting to be the life of the party, allowing users to create mobile social networks and stream music to nearby friends or strangers, according to a government regulatory filing. A Microsoft representative confirmed that the filing is legitimate and that Toshiba will manufacture the Zune device, but declined to offer additional details or comment on the information in the FCC filing."

Did you miss the navigation wheel in the photos?

I think I read somewhere that this wasn't even a wheel, just a button shaped as an ipod's wheel ?..
(probably a multi-directionnal button in that case, though, but still... not very good)

Given that nobody but MS and Toshiba have actually used one of these devices, I'd take anything you read on a news site with a grain of salt.
