Microsoft Argo / Zune MP3 Video player

While the information provide by Engadget and Gizmodo are still rumors and unconfirmed, it’s very likely and credible that the image below is indeed the Microsoft Zune (it’s possible that the device also went by the code name Argo.

According to Engadget’s report, the Zuno display is 4:3 ratio not 16:9.  The screen size might be in the range of 3 to 3.5-inches wide.  There’s also a big wheel with two buttons on either side; the left seems to be a “back” and the right is a “play/pause” button.

My initial impression was that there’s no way something this slick could have come out of Microsoft!  I’m very excited for Microsoft – bet better to be late to the game than never (only 5 years late).  The “Zune” should hit shelves this Christmas.
