I'm interested, but they need to show me that Zune HD/XBL inegration, since I need a handheld to do gaming.

What I would really, really like to see... Is the ZuneHD capable of DLing/playing Xbox classics from Live(or allow you do transfer them from your old disc via a 360). I mean, a 700mhz processor/128mb of ram shouldn't be a big deal to replicate the original Xbox, and then it instantly has the best hand-held library available. Just need to find a way to replace the sticks with something compact that can be on a hand held.

If this happens, it will be a Day 1 purchase for me. And it has huge upsides for MS. I mean, it suddenly makes a couple hundred old titles relevant again, and each sale would be pure profit. Developers would love them for it, opening up a new audience for games they've already made... and how many great old Xbox games that you never got a chance to play (or would replay) if they became portable? Who wouldn't play through Halo:CE again while riding the bus... or Ninja Gaiden? Who wouldn't finally give Psychonauts a chance since everyone says its great? It's a scenario full of win. (oh yeah, and it'd play music/videos too I guess)

Edit: Just saw the announcement about the ZuneHD... scratch that.

i agree it would be cool but i dont think the zune is capable of running xbox games. Even though the specs are not known at this point i dont believe they will throw in the equivilent of a 733 MHz CPU. Also different CPUs require different coding and i doubt the Zune HD will be sporting an x86 cpu. But we dont know and i agree origional xbox games would be cool! maybe now we can finally play Halo on a mobile platform and play over wifi like the DS!!!

well its a pentium III 733.. which even at its time was bested by the AMD athlon FPU wise. I think a souped up Atom or even an AMD Neo processor would be on par to do the job. Even though the Atom is only as powerful as an 800mhz "dothan".. chk out the anandtech article for more details.

With the new nvidia tegra though.. I dont see the new for an uber fast CPU.

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business
