Is Microsoft's ZuneX Really Their Portable Xbox Phone?
« on: May 19, 2009, 12:07:00 PM »

What I really need is a flip out spoon, fork, and toothebrush.

But actually that sounds kinda sorta neat even tho I'll not be getting one... it should be able to text.

2) that's the same dpad sony has used on controllers for years
3) i like the idea but the device in the pictures should never see the light of day

not gonna be released imo - there is probably a prototype like this, but thats about all.

also, is it me or do the specs look really sh*t?

1) horrible resolution - even for a portable imo
2) whats with the clock speed? 733mhz, yuk - make it 1GHz
3) this is the stupidest thing - Microsoft pairing up with nVidea again? i seriously doubt that.
4) 128mb of RAM - no way, thats just disgusting - surely it must cost more to make such a low capacity - atleast have 512mb imo.
5) 32GB Flash storage - can't really complain about that - hopefully there will be expandable memory - microSD please.
6) Bluetooth - Great plus
Sim Card slot - Doubtfull, but excellent if true.

what kills it is the OnLive support - now that just totally debunks the rumor.

FAKE FAKE FAKE

IPB Image

Since when Microsoft do an announcement with only 10 people, if you look at the left of the picture, it 'says "*lang *city & *center", little google search, bingo! xD

Nice place to do a MS presentation!

This is more fake and less believable than the kid who bought two hookers with his dad's credit card, just to play xbox with him.. not even a retarded kid would pass up the full hooker potential  laugh.gif

Sony's flagship D-pad? Microsoft wouldn't even remotely think that would slide.

The PSP only has a resolution of 480x272.  The rest I could see, even the 733MHz and 128M RAM, but once we get to the OnLive support, it sounds fake to me as well (even the Gizmodo article thinks that).  On Live is advertising itself as a replacement for expensive hardware and consoles (ain't gonna happen).  I don't think Microsoft is going to pair with a competitor.

I would have gotten it to replace my current phone.  The only problem I see is that it doesn't have anything for games, no card or CD slot.  I'm not downloading all my games.

I couldn't be less excited about this. The specs may be great for playing solitaire or bejewled, but not exactly up to par with even being able to play an xbox 1 game without horrible pixelation. Besides other tech sites, including the one lnked to in the article have dubbed it as fake. I'd rather have a ZUNE that I could store my DLC to!

I cry foul. Seriously, the PlayStation style D-Pad is an obvious marker that this is fake.

You have NO idea what you are talking about.

First it says its a DUAl core 733mhz processor...
128mb of ram isnt enough for you?? PSP 1000 had 32mb, Slim and brite have 64mb.

YEs horrible resolution but still, you cant get much HD out of a 4in screen. Anything over 320x260 looks almost the same.... so this res would be perfectly fine.


MS and Nvidia did the first xbox... look where they got us... 10 years strong... they switched....... xboxs died...


I belive it to a point, but this may be a mock up... just like the "leaked" slim ps3
