Zune Hardware Not Officially Axed?

On Monday, Microsoft announced that Zune hardware was no more, and that they would focus their efforts on Windows Phone moving forward. From the original Zune support page post:

We recently announced that, going forward, Windows Phone will be the focus of our mobile music and video strategy, and that we will no longer be producing Zune players.

According to a tweet from @ZuneSupport, that announcement was made in error:

We are still supporting the Zune HD hardware. No official info has been released stating hardware is being discontinued. ^SM

What exactly is going on here? The only certainty I have is that Microsoft’s teams need to talk before posting public messages.
