Quan turned me onto your blog. I realize that this may be old news by now (practically ancient, in Interweb time) but when I browsed notfornoobs.com today it took me to this page for the Microsoft Habu gaming mouse:

Funny, the Microsoft logo used to be in the Flash intro, until they changed it later and censored the logo out.

As for the gizmodo post, it could have been anything, a wood mockup, one of various prototypes, considering microsoft has said previously they have several designs in mind and were still working on settling for one.
As for the gigabeat/zune thing... give me a break, every player has a similar layout, the zune has a big screen and if it is the model we've seen "leaked" photo's of, then yes the buttons are at the bottom in the middle of the space... but then again so are 99% of the other devices, i guess gigabeat stole the ipod design and just reskinned an ipod since its the same layout?
Give me a break.
BTW As for the Razer ProType Zune keyboard, no idea the status of it but from what i heard from one of the MS blogs is theirs like 40-50 accessories going to be available for the launch ... or something along those lines so i wouldn't doubt it, seems microsoft learned from apple, accessories are what make the device really sell... i want a selection of docks and speaker sets thats what i want... i want an ecosystem around my device!

The Zune team wouldn't even have had time to invent a new player from scratch plus develop production facilities, prepare for ramp-up, etc.
They just took a Toshiba @#$Pod knockoff and knocked it off.  Classic!

Camera-zune. If zne is all about your media experience why nt have one of those little cell phone camera's in it? Wouldn'tt hat be cool.
Also, you need WAY more then 3 colors. How about clear? What about pink and blue? Also, if you want to compete with  the iPod you are going to have to make you player more... visually appealing... it look a little ugly 0_o

I also doubt it would be for the zune. Some have speculated that it’s relationship is connected to the Razer keyboard dock but that’s already been announced and they registered the domain name this past Sunday, not nearly enough time to Viral market anything.
Please keep us up to date if you find out anything.
Best wishes,
Kimmy

It is clearly a Zune, and you have clearly been caught with your pants down.  I love my 360, greatest console ever.  But the funny thing is I love my IPOD even more.  I doubt you guys will get a foothold in that market.  Unless of course you could justify why I should by another $300, 30gb video player?
