Perhaps M$ is planning a touch-screen Zune--better yet, a touch-screen Zune with audio input, web surfing, and VOIP. That might get Apple to activate the audio-in port on the iPod Touch, or maybe Griffin Tech. will do it. Yes, I know, there are audio-input hacks, but they look like hacks, not something you'd want to carry around in your pocket or bag. It also requires software to recognize that there's a sound that wants to connect to the Internet.

Can M$ be first? Will the VOIP Zune be brown too? I'm holding out for the VOIP Touch, or a new Nokia N-series quadband 5 megapixel touchscreen multimedia Linux phone. Whatever happened to the Aeon?
