Zune Update and Some Zune Humor
On Nov 13 2007, the new 80 gb Zune is to be released. In addition, on this day the flash based 4 and 8 gb models are to be released as well. That’s not all old Zunes will be upgraded to new Zune features through a firmware update. The new features are based on user feedback.
The new features include an all new Zune Marketplace, music, pictures and video sharing through the Zune Social and Wireless Sync.
I have other good news for you. The Brown Zune is being sold for $99 only through Amazon.com and J&R. It gets better. Amazon may offer the brown Zune for just $89.99 shipping November 19. This is a great offer since other 30 gb Zunes sell for $149.99.
Now I have some humor for you. If you meet someone who introduces himself as Mr. Microsoft Zune, don’t be surprised.
Apparently this dude who is a Zune maniac got himself 3 Zune tattoos some time back. This was not enough. Now he is changing his legal name to Microsoft Zune. You can stay in touch with this story since the man in question wants to document his change of name. Wonder what Mr. Gates and the guys at Microsoft think of this one!

After upgrading my Zune 30 to firmware 2.2, I feel like I’ve won the lottery (ok, ok like someone just gave me a new, amazing PMP, to be more precise). The player new shell looks awesome, the Zune management software is much, much easier to use and can finally display Cyrillic characters. It can play songs it couldn’t before, and wireless sync/podcast support is amazing.
Not sure why you took away equalizers – I would’ve defaulted the equalizers to “none”, and when someone would attempt to change to another equalizer setting, I would’ve displayed a small friendly note below: “may use x% more of battery power.” There are control freaks out there, just so you know 🙂
In short I love my (new) Zune 30 – thank you Microsoft and I hope you kick Apple’s / Google’s %ss!!
