Zune Thoughts: Toshiba's Gigabeat V: Zune 2.0?

"Toshiba’s original Gigabeat is among the most successful non-iPod portable media players (PMP) out there, boosted by the fact that Microsoft used it as the basis for the Zune. Whether or not this new Gigabeat, the Gigabeat V, will be the basis of Zune 2(or Zune Too, or whatever hip, focus group-tested name Microsoft gives it) is yet unknown, but Toshiba’s player does its best to stand out from the crowd. The big draw here is its 4-inch 480 x 272-pixel resolution screen. And on that screen you’ll be greeted with a Windows Media Center-like interface, which is good or bad depending on your point of view."

Well, since the Zune v2 is supposedly going to be an in-house design, this is probably not the Zune v2. That being said, I sure hope the Zune v2 is a lot like this Gigabeat V!
