Apparently, if the person was correct and our ears didn't fail us, the next-gen Zune will be available in August.&quot;</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Obviously, this is nothing more than one giant rumor, but, word&nbsp;on the street (or at least over at Gizmodo) has it, a new Zune will be available in August.&nbsp; If this rumor pans out, I wonder if this new Zune will indeed be a &quot;second&quot; generation of a&nbsp;hard drive-based player or rather a new flash-based model.</p>

If it's a second generation HDD player, where does that leave early adopters?

With a pretty good music & video player? ;)

That's a very valid concern. The Zune team, while quite on the "next generation" issue, still claim there are a number of improvements and enhancements coming down the pipe for our Zunes.

I could've purchased that at half the price.
