MS has a big announcement at midnight!!!!!

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/trick-or-treat%3F/top-secret-microsoft-product-to-launch-at-midnight-264082.php

I'm told that tonight, at 12:01am EST (okay, so tomorrow), the division of Microsoft that launched the Xbox and the Zune will unveil something very special . What it is, we do not know for sure, but it's "something totally new coming out of the Entertainment and Devices division, and it's going to change the way people interact with technology." The email (which was not a tip but rather was mistakenly sent to me through official channels) also stated that "you really have to see it to believe it." How tantalizing.

People are thinking this might be what they're announcing: http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/29/microsoft-to-unveil-playtable-gesture-based-interface-at-d/

If ZDnet staple Mary Jo Foley (or more specifically, her source) is right, we may be seeing Microsoft take the next big step in device interaction at tomorrow's D: All Things Digital Conference, with the perennial Redmond watcher predicting an official unveiling of the company's PlayTable / Project Milan multi-touch, gesture-based input technology. PlayTable, which combines elements we've seen in the iPhone, from NYU's Jeff Han, in various prototype devices, and from Microsoft's own, recently-demo'ed DigiDesk, is envisioned as a multi-purpose interface that can be employed in anything from a DAP (Zune) to a cellphone (WinMo handsets) to a gaming console (Xbox) -- so it's no coincidence that the project is being developed by the same Mobile and Entertainment division that's also in charge of these categories. All in all, tomorrow promises to be a big day: not only is Palm making a potentially breakthrough announcement, and the faces of Apple and Microsoft scheduled to appear together on the same stage, but we may also get to witness computing history to boot; man, if we had real jobs, we'd be calling in sick in a heartbeat.

It's actually coming from the mobile devices and entertainment departement.

So I highly doubt it will be something that is souly based on the 360.

360 ELITE 2.1

sounds like M$ 

i've already posted this in a different thread but it seems a lot of people just can't take the hint. it's a tablet device that hooks up to the pc, zune and xbox. it has a multi-touch touch screen. it is called the "PlayTable". here's a link

for those who don't want to click the link, here's the article:

I really hope its a Home type thing but i think its Xbox Portable. I hope not. 

It could be something completely different though. Hell, like an announcement that all pc games will work on the 360 through an update
