Microsoft officially announced that the next generation of Zune players will be released. The new Zune player is called Zune HD (http://zune.net/en-us/mp3players/zunehd/default.htm). Its main features include a touchscreen, HD radio, HD video output and a web browser. It is also known that it will have an accelerometer and an on-screen QWERTY keyboard. I would say that this will be the first serious competitor to the Apple's iPod Touch.

I also heard that it will interface with the 360.

Can you confirm or deny this?

Well depends on what do you mean by 'interfacing'? Curernt Zune players can be connected to an Xbox to play the content stored on them. I highly doubt that Zune HD will be able to play Xbox games (like some people thought); however I would assume that you will still be able to connect it to your Xbox 360 console to play the content stored on it.

Nah, I wouldn't think one could play 360 games on the Zune. Maybe some throw-back stuff, but not full fledged current games. I mean like you said, play Zune content on your 360. Just something I heard.

Yeah, I guess it will be possible since you can do this even with current Zune players.
