Retailers who have been briefed by Microsoft told TWICE the player will offer Wi-Fi capability, but will require that the portable be connected to a PC for the actual purchase of songs. Retailers, who claimed Microsoft remained “fuzzy” on the Zune’s wireless capability, said only that Zune will allow users to bookmark songs that may be shared via Wi-Fi, but that users cannot purchase songs on the go from the Microsoft Zune Web site.

Both retailers said the player would incorporate a 30GB hard drive. One said the unit’s display screen would be larger than Apple’s iPod models. The retailers were pleased with Microsoft’s feature-per-price package.

One retailer also said that Microsoft plans to continue to support its PlaysForSure licensees, even while it launches its own media Web site and sells its own digital media player, effectively competing with these same licensees

Big Yawn. I already have an Mp3 player that does everything I want it to do. Wi-Fi, WTF, or whatever they call it. I don't use %90 of the features on my cell phone. Less then %1 of people will use the Wi-Fi feature and those that do will get tired of the hassle. It is also absurdly obvious the vast majority of customers don't give a rats ass about playing Microsoft DRM files. Most people sucked into the Orwellian DRM nightmare use Apples format anyways.

Just another overpriced MP3 player.

Agreed.

I don't have any MP3 player, but when I do finally get one it won't be from Apple or Microsoft (unless they come up with something much much better than they currently have/offer).
