Leaked photos of the ZuneX (ZX-1000) may be a Microsoft handheld device that combines the Zune with the Xbox, according to a Gizmodo report.

Mimbee.tv has acquired some photographs and a detailed spec list for the new device. Notice that the specs list a SIM Card tray which could possibly allow for phone functionality and 3G Internet services.

• 4-inch display at 640x363 resolution
• Custom Intel LV Atom DualCore 733MHz processor
• Custom Nvidia BLowFish chipset
• 128MB RAM
• 40 hour music, 14 hours of video, 9 hours of gaming and 6 hours of gaming with the wireless on
• 4 analog buttons, 2 shoulder buttons, an analog stick attachment
• 32GB flash storage
• Support for Bluetooth headphones
• SIM Card tray (it's a phone! Maybe!)
• Xbox Live Arcade Games
• ZuneX Originals
• OnLive Ready game streaming (now we're just getting a little ridiculous)
• WMV, H.264, MPEG-4 and DivX support

It is not going to make it if it doesn't have analogue sticks for sure, assuming it is not fake of course, and it's true that thing is quite ugly.

Looks like the old Sega Game Gear

I thought that Zune was I media player, not a "console" like the Nintendo DS or PSP? If they are going to make a portable "console" (dont know whats it called), they should at least give it a new and own name. 'Cause this doesn't look like the old Zune's at all.
