Zune HD
I know that most 1st gen media players have alot of glitches that usually get worked out by the 2nd gen.
I want to buy the Zune HD but I'm wondering if I should wait until 2nd gen... the HD just came out in September and I don't know how
A: Theres been no mention of a 2nd Gen. Its likely that there will be one but the soonest you can expect is late 2010. Microsoft tends to not update their products as much as Apple so I wouldn't guarantee that there will be a new Zune by September of 2010.

Besides sporting a more edgy case design, the B170 series looks very much like the B160 series Sony released last year (which itself looked exactly like the two year old B150 series, sans the clip on the back). The three-line LCD display on the new one looks even tinier than before – or maybe that’s just because it isn’t hidden behind a ‘seamless’ glossy plastic cover as on its ancestors.
There’s nothing new or exciting as far as the B170′s specs go – it’s the exact same as all the other B-series players before it. It plays MP3 and WMA, sports the usual bass booster and ‘Zap’ (intro scan) button, and is rated at about 18 hours of playback time. A three minute quick charge should give 90 minutes of playback time, and a full recharge only takes 70 minutes. A USB plug is hidden under the B170′s cap, so one doesn’t need to bring an extra cable for file transfers or charging. I assume MTP is the transfer protocol of choice here, as with all other Sony players, but usually they can be easily changed to MSC transfer mode, if one wishes to do so.

WWDC10
* Update: Cupidtino just tweeted - 'Twas the night before WWDC and the launch of new iPhone ....". This confirms the launch of the iPhone!
Monday rumored that the new iPhone will be announced by Steve Jobs at WWDC10. There are some other rumors that the iPhone is available on Monday, which was disclosed. Another rumor has a release date June 18.
The iPhone HD or anything should be called to make an appearance.If this is not a lot of Apple fans will be disappointed. I hope to enlarge the screen, like the EVO. It may be difficult to reach but it is better for navigation and typing on the keyboard....
