Zune fan designs all-in-one Xune 360 portable
Try as it may, it seems the Zune just can't match up to the iPod. Why not? Well, A.J. Kandy, creative director and prez of King Marketing, posits that Microsoft needs to stop simply following in Apple's footsteps with its MP3 player. The Xune 360 is his solution.
The Xune 360 plays up the strength of Microsoft's successful Xbox 360 console and takes after Sony's stylish Mylo media player. So what you've got is a dedicated gaming handheld that also plays music and other media with touches 360 gamers are used to, like shoulder and colored buttons, and a full, sliding keyboard underneath for texting and IMs.
I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing the Zune Marketplace take a hike in favor of Xbox LIVE, myself.

The zune is far superior to the ipod! Apple is so old news! Microsoft is the future!

I would finally break down and buy an MP3 Player if this is ever put into production.

If Microsoft is the future then why is this design stealing the case style from the SONY Mylo?

I am the only one to notice the irony of this being based off of Sony's Mylo?

What are you smoking? The iPod dominates the market and the iPhone is making steady headway into the smartphone arena. Seriously, Microsoft would have to make a paradigm shift in order to truly compete. You know why people hail Apple for being innovative? It's because for the most part they design and market products that actually appeal to people. Yes there are many products that do the same things that the iPod and iPhone do but they DON'T DO IT AS WELL!
I've seen Windows 7, IT'S CALLED AN IPHONE!

its obviously fake guys........ Microsoft isn't stupid enough to take the click wheel and put it on a device that mixes a psp and an xbox controller. this is just some bored ass guy who photoshops a lot.
