Toshiba to Make Microsoft's Zune Media Player

Daisuke Wakabayashi writes for Reuters:

Microsoft Corp. said on Friday that Japanese electronics maker Toshiba Corp. will manufacture its upcoming "Zune" portable media player, the software giant's answer to Apple Computer Inc.'s market-leading iPod.

A company spokeswoman confirmed that a filing made by Toshiba for a portable audio player to the Federal Communications Commission is for Zune, due out later this year.

The filing reveals that the device will come with a 3-inch liquid crystal display screen and a 30-gigabyte hard-disk drive and have wireless connectivity.

Microsoft would not disclose any more details, but said more information was coming in the "next couple of weeks." Toshiba was not immediately available for comment.
