August 27th, 2006

Toshiba 1089 PMP is the first generation ZuneIt is confirmed that the first generation of Microsoft Zune Portable Media Player is Toshiba Gigabeat 1089 PMP that has been approved by FCC. The next iPod killer, Zune is an OEMed Toshiba Gigabeat with additional features designed specially for Microsoft. This is because Microsoft is rushing the Zune to out in time for this Christmas and before the next generation iPods.

However, this doesn’t mean that Zune will be sold by Toshiba. Zune will always be a Microsoft product but manufactured by Toshiba – for the first generation of Zune only. After that, Microsoft will handle all the production and add more models to the line including a Shuffle/Nano-style mini players as well as a high end UMPC-like PMP. The next generations of Zune PMP will also come with gaming, video, and music built-in, along with the wireless features.
