Zune isnt struggeling that much.

In a SEC quarterly earnings report, Microsoft has revealed that sales of its Zune platform are struggling. Zune revenue has fallen 54 percent, or $100 million, year-on-year from 2007. In contrast, Apple sold a record 22,727,000 iPods during the quarter, representing three percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Microsoft is blaming poor sales of the Zune to a shrinking MP3 player market...

If you use Zune's very short history as an example (2006-2008), new hardware/refresh announcements are September/October.  Of course, this means very little in reality.  Stick out tongue [:P]

Just so you know, Zune is planning to release new hardware/software before the end of 2009. Stay tuned.

My guess is they would announce it when they feel that what features/benefits go with it are ready. If you're talking about major events, there would be CES or even in their own special press conferences.

So Apple announces their new products at Macworld and also at the WWDC, OPP or whatever it's called which is sometime in June.
When does Microsoft announce their new media hardware, such as Zune?
Thanks.
