# Mega Gadget Hybrids X-Box 360 Handheld Is Microsoft Zune + X-Box 360 + Cell Phone By Ayman | Published 2008-06-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-box-360-handheld References: [t3](http://www.t3.com/news/x-box-360-handheld-console-on-the-way?=36044) We all know that [Microsoft's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rog-xbox-ally) Zune did not live up to its hype and hasn't come close to being an '[iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinypod) killer'. And with the success of the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-arcade-pro), it's certain that Microsoft will be tapping into a handheld music/phone in the near future. However, will it be successful? And would Microsoft's X-Box legacy help give such a handheld device a boost to put them ahead of the competition? The awesome T3 Magazine dreamed up a Microsoft Zune / X-Box 360 / mobile phone hybrid. Their vision features "the familiar X logo and coloured buttons of the X-Box with the slim and sleek Zune music player." It also comes with a 64GB flash drive. C'mon Microsoft.
