More Flash Zune Details Leak
While details of the Microsoft's media device lack the spotlight given to any media capable product that Apple will release, the Zune does have it's own little gaggle of supporters. To appease their need for new Zune information, the boys over at ZuneScene have managed to get their hands on a few more details about the upcoming flash based iteration of the Zune. Firstly, the device now has the official code name of 'Draco'. Draco will be available in the common 4gb and 8gb storage capacities, but will break away from the iPod mold, a bit, with included video playback support and, of course, Microsoft's oddly implemented WiFi.
Expect Draco to receive an official name and hit shelves in time for the 2007 holiday season.
