According to a recent FCC filing, Toshiba is testing the first Gigabeat player with Wi-Fi and if they like the results, the player will be a direct rival to the Microsoft Zune when it is released.

The player will include a wireless transmitter, at least for local networking. The player will also include a new OS, a modern version of Windows Embedded. The filing also suggests video capability.

New other news is available as of now, but the filing shows a probable early 2008 release.
