Just in time since I figuratively pulled the plug on my Zune and then literally pulled the plug on my iPhone. BetaNews shares word of a Microsoft event expected tomorrow that will unveil the second generation of Zune hardware. Flash based devices figure to play into the announcement for sure, but I’m more interested in the device capabilities. There’s sure to be WiFi (unless that approach is completely abandoned), so the announcement of a WiFi Zune Marketplace would be welcome. I still say that the Zune should have (or have had) a wireless headset as that would be another iPod differentiator. Any guesses on the new product attributes aside from what’s already been floating out on the web? Perhaps podcast downloads via WiFi?
