Speculation has begun on the next generation Zune and all the talk Microsoft execs have been giving on games on Zune. This has led to some heavy imaginations and they're starting to rear their ugly head. More after the break..
UK gadget magazing T3 has published an interesting article in its latest issue heavily speculating the next generation Zune will be more of a handheld portable game system borrowing heavily from Xbox. They even go as far as to say it will be released next year. While the idea is quite intriguing, take it with a grain or two. While Microsoft has recently been commenting on the PSP and gaming on the Zune, it's quite a jump to marry the two and assume Microsoft is going to release a direct competitor to Nintendo and Sony in the hand-held arena.
Would I buy one if they were released tomorrow? Doubtful, but I'm sure there would be a market - but the right question would be is if it would be a good move? Microsoft is already fighting a multi-front battle and adding something else that would inevitably take years to be profitable could prove disasterous. My thought is keep things simple for now. Let the brands become more stable and then go for the the whole wedding ceremony. That's my two pennies, but what about you? What do you think? Forums are open or comment below...

i think it would be great if they did this! it would finnaly get them into the handheld industry, probuly sell more then the original Zune did, and have better wi-fi! if they do this they should make an XBL type place for it but with out paying for it, just make it a free place for people to play games with friends... the way gaming should be...
