Microsoft prepping the third generation Zune, mobile Zune store

With little details emerging we have learned that Microsoft is expecting to have the next generation Zune, (one can only assume it will be called the Zune 3) to be hitting the stores sometime during 2009. According to reports from Les Echos, which is a French newspaper we will be seeing that new Zune along with a mobile Zune portal “sometime in 2009.”

The mobile store portal would allow for users to purchase music and games from computers, Windows Mobile devices and even the Zune. The access for Windows Mobile devices is rumored to be with the next, next version, Windows Mobile 7, which considering we are all still waiting for Windows Mobile 6.1 may be a while.
