Brian Seitz continued his media blitz on the ZuneHD and dropped some tantalizing hints about the newly coveted device in
a new interview.
His first hint comes about an overlooked element of the new ZuneHD's UI.

If you saw pictures of the front menu, it looks very similar to the UI today. However, that's where most of the similarities will probably end. There's a really cool interface we'll be talking about in the coming months and if you actually look at some of the pictures you can see it. No one's really picked up on it yet... I'm not going get into too much detail on that right now, but it's a completely new way to get into your media. I'll go and talk with some of the people who are working on that stuff and make sure that they're comfortable and then let you know. It's a really cool experience and way to interact with the stuff that's on your device that you don't have today. We're really looking to just step up the game of the way that you're, not just listening to your content or watching your content, but how your navigating through it and how you can interact with it while your stuff is playing.

Anyone have any ideas on this? I haven't been able to figure out what he's talking about. Check out the video again and see if you can see anything:
Seitz also briefly talked about the older Zunes and their future with regards to updates:

Since they're still building the firmware, I think we'll still have to wait a little bit to find out what's going to happen to some of the downstream existing devices. We've done our best to make sure that all the value that we're building into each generation goes downstream as much as possible. Though, there does come a point in the hardware where stuff such as touch and stuff like that does not compute with an old device. We're really proud of what we've be able do so far and it's yet to be determined what's going to happen to the down-level devices, but we'll do what we can.

I personally think there will be at least one more update/refresh for the older generation Zunes, but we all know there was going to be an end to these eventually. MS has done an outstanding job retaining value to older generation Zunes.
