Zune V2 Rumors
In the last Diggnation Podcast, toward the end of the show, Alex Albrecht mentioned, he has something to say to Kevin Rose about the new Zune after the show (offline). He also gave some hints about the next version of Zune and some “awesome” WiFi enhancements…Knowing the facts that Alex is a very happy Zune user (he has been very vocal about it) and Microsoft Zune sponsors Diggnation..There is chances that what Alex says bears credibility.

Furthermore, Engadget reports:
It looks like the same discussion with Chris Stephenson that yielded that 2007 European Zune launch figure also gave up a few more details about the Zune line: apparently we can expect a flash-based Zune for the holiday season later this year and apparently Stephenson also hinted at “a truly WiFi-enabled device” at some point in the future, according to Digital Music News. We don’t really know what that means, but if it is what we think it is — a version of the Zune that does all the things with its WiFi that the first version should have, like support over-the-air downloads and unencumbered sharing of subscription music — then we might have to throw a little fit up in this piece. Zune peeps, we know you’re reading this: upgrade the firmware and add the features, don’t try to sell us a v2 device that does what the V1 device can and should. That is all!
