Microsoft’s Zune = Toshiba 1089
Microsoft’s Zune showed up at the FCC with the pretty nondescript name “Toshiba 1089″.
It turns out that Toshiba is, in fact, manufacturing the Zune for Microsoft. The Zune was documented as having a 30 gb hard drive, FM tuner, and a 3.0 inch screen. The Zune allows you to stream your music to up to 4 other Zune users over the “Pyxis” network. The people who you stream music to are known as Argo members. It seems like Microsoft hasn’t quite figured out its Zune lingo, just yet.
