I would be shocked if Microsoft could ship this thing in the next 5 years. To put things into perspective it has taken them (at least) 3 years to ship one significant Windows Mobile release. This could easily slip to 4+ based on current WM7 time-tables. We don't really know how long the Zune was in development however they basically just re-branded Toshiba players with new software so I would guess it was a pretty short pipeline. Took them about 3 years to develop the Zune HD which is the first Zune model that is unique compared to its competition. I just don't see how, given their track record, Microsoft could move fast enough to get this thing out the door anytime soon.
