Gizmondo is claiming to have heard a bit of gossip from this years Game Developers Conference.  And that gossip says that a next generation Zune, with games enabled, will hit stores in August.  They dont’ cite a source or what not, but we know how these conferences are and people do talk.  Especially when they’re drunk.  So who knows, but it’s juicy nonetheless.

This is horribly irresponsible rumor-mongering, but we over heard this tidbit about the Zune over at GDC. Apparently, if the person was correct and our ears didn’t fail us, the next-gen Zune will be available in August. Unfortunately for the first-gen Zune team, the next version will feature gaming, which is supposedly making them feel dejected over working on a product (1st gen) that will be “abandoned”.
