Zune Wireless Downloaded

Apparently a Zune “tipster” sent in a picture of a Zune with the beta build of firmware v1.4 (shown as 2.1.4). Now the interesting thing with this is that the tipster goes onto say that the Zune will now be able to connect to wireless hotspots and and download new content with Microsoft points (just like Zune MarketPlace)

Thing I have to ask here is, why do all “tipster” photos looks really blurry? Or am I losing my eye sight here? So I think I will just put this down to a rumor, as to me that really isn’t that much proof.

What do you think? looks fake? or could have some truth behind it? Also what are some thing you would like to see in the new firmware update?

Edit:

Another pic of the new firmware just hit the interweb. This time the photographer seems to have learned some better camera techniques and its not as blurry as first two. However still no real confirmation, just these pics to give hope to the masses that the Zunes WiFi is going to be used for what most people envisioned it to from the beginning.

Well, if it is a fake, the guy sure knows how to get the lighting exact! Kudos. But, if it’s not WOOT! Can’t wait! I’m really hoping they’ll come out with an update that’ll make it more like a communication device. Not a cell phone mind you, but something that’ll make it possible to communicate to other Zune owners.

the other 2 pictures actually look real to me and they have talked about making the hotspots so hopefully its actually happining but it could be photoshopped

The image is blurry because the camera used has a run of the mill CCD in it and the exposure time iss too long. Some of the other pictures are clearer because the screen is not shown face on so the amount of light going to the cameras CCD is less basically acting like a faster exposure time if the screen was head on. I have looked at these pictures and they appear to be genuine.
