Rumors Build for New Zune Model

Apple and Microsoft tried to take their OS battle into the music player realm, but that failed to materialize when Microsoft's Zune wasn't able to gain traction and challenge the iPod in the market.

Microsoft has remained committed to the Zune despite lackluster sales and rumors are swirling that a new Zune is coming soon. The new player is reportedly called the Zune HD and boasts a brushed aluminum back with an all glass front.

The player is said to have HDMI out, HD video capability, and an HD Radio tuner built-in. The device is also claimed to support 3D Xbox games, but that sounds a bit farfetched to me. The Zune will also reportedly be coming to the UK after being a US exclusive.
