Rumors began circulating about Microsoft's latest version of their mp3 player last week, which was, coincidentally, the much-hyped release of Apple's iPhone. Although the next member of the Zune family does not make or receive telephone calls, it will store 20 times more media than Apple's latest device. It is clear that the Zune and the iPhone are in different leagues entirely, but one can't help but think that these rumors were more forced out than leaked.

All speculations aside, the new Zune is thought to be called the "Scorpio," at least that is what is being referred to around the Gates camp. Microsoft's sources imply that the Scorpio will likely be able to store 80GB and production will begin at the end of the summer preparing for a holiday season landing.
