Microsoft: More Zunes coming in 2009

—

Remember that teenage trick of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying, "I can't hear you"? That's how I felt on Thursday morning when I talked to Adam Sohn, the marketing director for Zune. No retreat, baby, no surrender. I don't mean that Microsoft is oblivious ...

However, since many manufacturers now have music players with touch-sensitive screens, it would be logical for Microsoft to have one as well. Earlier this year Microsoft confirmed intention to release new Zunes before the 2009 holiday season and that those music players would be a surprising step up from the current models , hence, a new Zune-branded music player is completely possible.
