Well, it just looks like Zune may be taking a slightly different turn than some were expecting. Matt Rosoff from Cnet has some knowledge about the zune future plans, and gave us some hints with this little blurb in one of his recent posts.

As iPod fans will no doubt note, 120GB is still short of the 160GB offered by the top-capacity iPod Classic. I can’t say much, but I’ve seen what Microsoft’s planning, and befitting its status as a software plus services company, the real advances aren’t going to be in the Zune hardware, but in the Zune software and associated services. Apple makes great devices, and so far iTunes has remained ahead of the Zune software, but Apple has sometimes fallen short in the services arena. Microsoft has a huge challenge taking on the iJuggernaut, but they are far from giving up. That’s good news for us–competition means better products from all sides.

This obviously still leaves room for speculation, and only time will tell what we end up seeing. In my opinion though, the software always has been the obvious weak point, so putting extra effort into making it better,(and maybe speeding it up a bit..) is quite important. Hopefully we’ll have some more news soon.
