During the firm's keynote at GDC today, Microsoft revealed that its Zune portable music player was staking a claim in the handheld gaming space by being able to play games made using XNA Game Studio.
XNA general manager Chris Satchell demonstrated the portability of code between Zune, Xbox 360 and Games for Windows platforms, saying games could be developed on PC using XNA Game Studio and then loaded onto others.

Re: when?
I dont think we will ever get it, to be fair not interested in it.
However I do want a portable Xbox would love to play HALO 1 on the go and have Live Anywhere like Microsoft promised over a year ago.
Re: when?
We don't have Zune yet? I didn't even realise that. Guess that just shows how little I actually care about ANOTHER MP3 player...
