Bill Gates and J. Allard are expected to be announcing the second generation of Zunes soon. The new Zune will work similar to flash-based memory and is expected to look similar to an iPod Nano. Engadget received a leaked image of what the new Zunes are presumed to look like.
A good reason for the Zune to be coming out now is because of peak retail season. Generally, between November and January, retail stores sell more electronics and because of a lot of toys getting recalled this year, electronics as a whole may see increased sales. This is Microsoft’s opportunity to seize more market share.
