Whizbyte has come up with some more bits of info on the new generation of Microsoft Zune players, reported, as they claim, by a Microsoft employee. By the way, the first Zune sales have gone according to the plan and already exceeded 1 million units. As you might remember, the web has been buzzing about two additions to the Zune range, known as the Scorpio (80 Gb onboard) and the Draco (flash-based), arriving by Christmas.

Like it usually happens, the mysterious Microsoft employee didn't go into considerable detail, but thankfully the hints he gave us can serve as the foundation for some conclusions. That is, the source confirmed that we will actually see new Zunes later this year, specifically differently styled, sized and priced gadgets. He also mentioned that the Zune-branded players will start closing in on iPod in terms of functionality, specifically podcasts support etc, and on top of that, Zune software will get updatable. Also, the software giant is looking to improve support of the players on the global market.
