Possible Firmware Feature Leak

Now, this is pure speculation, but a product description page over at Fry's (http://shop3.frys.com/product/5705192?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG) has an interesting feature set to list for the Zune. I'll give you the short version, listing what Zune users would consider new:

Tagging songs from FM radio (obviously the radio station needs to broadcast the song info for this to work)

Device to Cloud-Access thousands of wireless Hotspots around the country to update your music collection (downloading to device from Marketplace, this reporter assumes)

Zune Channels-Downloads personalized playlists to your device based on sources such as music experts, celebrates, or popular radio stations.

Sounds pretty sweet if you ask me, but this is still a little behind what Archos has to offer. And this is pure speculation, but I haven't seen my little internet radio request.

Update: Here's a better look at what's going on, it's going to be a whole-experience upgrade:

all I ever wanted from the Zune was gapless playback.

My ipod has gapless playback, and is 80gb for the price i paid for the 30gb. ipod wins.
