The rumored radio capabilities of the Zune (WiFi, FM receive, FM broadcast) make me wonder if MS isn't playing with a software radio chip in their prototypes. If they were, they could then offer many different forms of wireless (and disable FM broadcast for the UK) just by tweaking the on-board firmware.
Not sure how many products are currently using this tech since its pretty much bleeding edge stuff... Mostly envisioned for cell phones...
As for the other features, they sound a lot like current-gen PMC capabilities, but with a different interface, which is odd. Would've expected them to use something like the PMC or XBOX GUIs, which are both plenty good...
