&lt;p&gt;Ever hear of doing lots of things poorly and no one thing well? &amp;nbsp;I give you Zune.&lt;/p&gt;

Something along the lines of : ( First you grow the pie, then you slice it up ). Course the pie is being served on the same table for the builders and members of a very large house.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The memory card idea would only be usefull if the HDD wasn't that big. More likely you'll be able to use the Zune as a memory card. The gaming line would evidently understand your Xbox Gamertag to support live anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8 different lines eh? Hmmm.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All I can say is OMG. &amp;nbsp;If Microsoft can develier this, then they can take all my money. &amp;nbsp;But seriously, I can envision a load of cool features for this thing. &amp;nbsp;With your content being stored online or at least bookmarked online, you should be able to access it with any MS device. And, if it's anything like XBOX Live then it should be great. &amp;nbsp;The user interactivity will be the seling point for me. &amp;nbsp;If it gives you several ways of interacting with other music listeners in the way that XBOX Live allows you to interact with gamers, then I might as well pre-order one. &amp;nbsp;Also, I hope they take full advantage of the wi-fi and allow adding songs via wi-fi. &amp;nbsp;A decent feature set should also be available when you're not in a wi-fi hot spot.&lt;/p&gt;

I'm not too fussed about the price. I expect the sound quality will be good. I don't really care what the music store offers.&lt;/p&gt;
