Leaked photos of the ZuneX (ZX-1000) may be a Microsoft handheld device that combines the Zune with the Xbox, according to a Gizmodo report.
Mimbee.tv has acquired some photographs and a detailed spec list for the new device. Notice that the specs list a SIM Card tray which could possibly allow for phone functionality and 3G Internet services.
• 4-inch display at 640x363 resolution • Custom Intel LV Atom DualCore 733MHz processor • Custom Nvidia BLowFish chipset • 128MB RAM • 40 hour music, 14 hours of video, 9 hours of gaming and 6 hours of gaming with the wireless on • 4 analog buttons, 2 shoulder buttons, an analog stick attachment • 32GB flash storage • Support for Bluetooth headphones • SIM Card tray (it's a phone! Maybe!) • Xbox Live Arcade Games • ZuneX Originals • OnLive Ready game streaming (now we're just getting a little ridiculous) • WMV, H.264, MPEG-4 and DivX support
I thought that Zune was I media player, not a "console" like the Nintendo DS or PSP? If they are going to make a portable "console" (dont know whats it called), they should at least give it a new and own name. 'Cause this doesn't look like the old Zune's at all.
