Is Microsoft's ZuneX Really Their Portable Xbox Phone? Posted by XanTium | May 19 12:49 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From gizmodo.com: [QUOTE] These leaked photos of the ZuneX (ZX-1000) may or may not be Microsoft's handheld device that combines the Zune with the Xbox. But we do have specs. And it may be a phone. Mimbee.tv's got a grainy shot from a conference that may or may not be real, a shot of a guy holding a ZuneX in his hand that looks more photoshopped than not, and a list of specs: • 4-inch display at 640x363 resolution • Custom Intel LV Atom DualCore 733MHz processor • Custom Nvidia BLowFish chipset • 128MB RAM • 40 hour music, 14 hours of video, 9 hours of gaming and 6 hours of gaming with the wireless on • 4 analog buttons, 2 shoulder buttons, an analog stick attachment • 32GB flash storage • Support for Bluetooth headphones • SIM Card tray (it's a phone! Maybe!) • Xbox Live Arcade Games • ZuneX Originals • OnLive Ready game streaming (now we're just getting a little ridiculous) • WMV, H.264, MPEG-4 and DivX support [/QUOTE] Full Story: gizmodo.com | mimbee.tv

I myself have a zune 4Gb and the size of the screen has some damn fine quality. Hell, I can even read the sub-titles with ease (I like to watch anime, naruto mainly). Besides, when you are talking about screens that are that small, it doesnt matter if its total res is 320x240 or 1024x768, when its that small you will not see the difference.

as for playing games on the zune, the quality of the games is rather high, and even 3D is possable on the zune itself (although it is still in beta).

The wifi of the zune itself works just fine for what it is ment for (shopping for music, playing multi-player games, sharing music and also as a portable wifi snoop )

Knowing this, the specs for this speculated "zune360" is actually rather impressive (although I will beleave it when I see it). People tend to forget about what the specs of the original xbox was, and that thing was impressive in itself.

Also, some people think that dual core is no big thing, well, if thats the case, then why have multi-core processors? Yea, 1Ghz proc would be faster in clock speed, but I would rather have a dual core 733mhz proc then a single core 1Ghz proc. why? because dual core can split the work load between the cores, meaning the proc. itself can take more of a work load and generate less heat (not to mention use less power) to do the same task as what a single core could, meaning that the end result is that the 733 dual core would be a better performer then the single core. If you want to confirm this yourself then go to any website that tracks benchmark scores (such as 3dmark) and see which proc performs better then which. Now, I dont know much about core2 procs TBH, but I do know that multi-core procs are the mainstream thus far, and for a reason.

you know i was suggesting a 1GHz dual core right?

dude are u kidding me the psp specs are 233 or 266mhz 64mb ram no bluetooth support either the zune doubles the specs meaning it will be the best handheld yet heck i believe the original xbox only had 64mb ram and the handheld has a dualcore atom cpu and xbox had a single pentium 3

this zune is gonna be the best handheld

i see why everyone is comparing it to the PSP,
but think beyond what we currently have...
what *if* Sony was to unveil a new PSP at E3 - the PSP2?
& the specs were pretty much on par with what we have here - what then? will these specs seem so awesome then? i doubt it.
that's why i said the figures i said, as that is what the technology level is at.

what we have today:

Quad Processors
so hand held should have C2D

64GB Flash Drives
so hand held should have 32GB minimum

Single 4GB RAM Sticks
so hand held should have 512mb

etc.

#people are acting like this thing is real.
you all know its not, right? this is totally fake.

you've got to be completely retarded. saying dual core = crap and c2d = awesome proves it. c2d just happens to be a branded line of dual core (which equals crap, rite?) processors marketed for desktops and extremely hot laptops.

Here's an experiment for you. Load up a game on your PC, play it for 5 minutes then take your heatsink off the processor and touch the top. Enjoy not having fingerprints for a few weeks. Unless this hypothetical handheld were to be ~1kg of solid aluminum or copper and have active cooling a core 2 duo would be impossible.

you also have to keep in mind that even though our desktop computers can have 16gb of ram and quad core processors, they also have 1000 watt power supplies. Unless you're willing to carry around a 10kg battery, the battery life we could expect from your 512mb ram c2d handheld would probably only be measureable in microseconds.

people aren't getting confrontational over the fake zunex, they're getting confrontational over how retarded your statements have been.

otherwise, great trolling. 9/10!
