They had none of any kind of all, or just the one you were looking for? I find it hard to believe that they’d release a new one this soon…and with nothing leaking to the net as far as pictures, capabilities, specs, etc.

ALERT: New Zune maybe coming soon! I recently went to Sears looking for a Zune to purchase. Well, they didn’t have any out, so one of the clerks went into another room to order one. He came back saying he was sorry, Zunes can’t be aren’t available anymore, and that Microsoft isn’t shipping anymore! Could this mean a Zune Generation 3?! Hope so!

The ZunePhone we are testing has a holographic projector built in!

I think it’d be pretty awesome too. It’d obviously require redesigned hardware, so why not have it include a speaker too? Sure, they could release it as an accessory, but I think it’d be much more of a killer if it was an all-in-one Zune media center deal. Glad to see others are on similar wavelengths.

I think you read my mind Jonathan.. I had been doing a lot of thinking of ways the zune could dominate the ipod, and was thinking about screen size when I wondered if it’d be possible for zunes to have built in projectors… I guess I’m not alone.
It’d be really awesome.

It would be neat, but it’s a waste of battery (I feel a DIY project coming on though…), without speakers its completely pointless (I feel another DIY project coming on). (Of course, if someone hacked this together the folks over at Hack-A-Day would have a field day).

I’d say commercially it just wouldn’t be feasible; the technology just isn’t there yet.
