I gotta hand it to Microsoft. What a brilliant idea to advertise on the iPOD display cases!! I cant think of a better way of getting someone’s attention to buy a Zune! All kidding aside this photo was taken at a Costco which they must have needed more display cases to hold all the excess iPOD's that were being sold during the holiday.
Ouch now this doesn't really look good for the #18 Pink Zune.. For those who aren't aware, a few pink Zunes (100) were made for the members of the Microsoft Zune team. Apparently this member decided to sell his on Ebay and score a whopping $920.00!!! I don't think this looks too good for the Zune team and what this member thought of their limited edition gem!

On Monday I will be posting an interview with Scott Erickson who is the Senior Product Manager for Zune. This is a must listen to along with hearing my initial impressions of Zune.. Sorry my lips are sealed until Monday.
One of my favorite journalists that I read is the one and only David Pogue of the NY Times. Round one of the Zune review units were sent out on November 6th and it looks like Mr Pogue got his hands on one. David is a kind of person who tells you how it is.. Truthfully!
Oh boy the more I research this whole Zune thing the more I get worried for those who are pre-ordering this device. Well just recently David Caulton who is part of the Microsoft Zune team and runs the blog Zunester has some pretty interesting responses to Robert Scoble's interview of Matt Jubelirer last week..

Another video overview of the highly anticipated Microsoft Zune. Remember Zune cannot connect to the internet, download songs directly from the Zune store via WiFi andsync to your computer via WiFi... I guess Microsoft is afraid of Wifi syncing due to security concerns (cough)...yeah.. thats it...
Well it looks like Jake Ludington got some face time with the Microsoft Zune.. Once again the more we see about Zune the less interested I become.. Look at the size difference.. Ugh
Our good friends over at Crunch Gear are definitely getting some face time with the new Microsoft Zune.. They apparently have some top secret cyber spy's playing around with some pre-production units. Everyone knows my take on the Zune but these pictures are quite interesting..

Ouch! Depending on the price of Zune this box has some good dollar amount to it! A blog i have been following daily called Zune Insider which is run by Cesar Menendez who is part of the Zune team!

Well you didn't think we would just leave you hanging? Here is another clip of the Microsoft Zune side by side with other Zune's.. Wow, I kind of sound like I am from the old TV show "Mork and Mindy", "Nanu-Nanu!" .. Ok.. Anyway.. The video shows two people sharing music side by side.
Enclosed is a video we received from the PR agency handling the Zune launch. Here you will see how the navigation works along with menus, size and video. For me the 30GB hard drive is a big loss for Microsoft. Also the sharing idea is nice but we were just informed that you can share content with a friend for 3 days or 3 times listening to the track. Well time will tell and certainly Microsoft is already getting some good buzz.
Today marks the official announcement from Microsoft as they announced Zune. Alot of the information we all knew such as 802.11, FM Tuner, 30GB hard drive, 3.0-inch screen.. It will also come in three colors, black, brown and white. Also Microsoft has stated the unit will allow sharing to fellow Zuner's for a period of three days and then once again you will be prompted to purchase the song or it will delete!
We were just informed that Microsoft’s highly watched Zune digital music player will meet the press on Thursday, according to a conversation we had with Microsoft officials. From what we were told the Zune product team members plan to officially show the music player and the company plans to issue a release tomorrow on the press event, which Microsoft confirmed to us today.
What we are referencing is some new FCC documents showing want looks identical to Zune but is going under the name Toshiba Model 1089. Either way this unit will have 802.11 and apparently will let you see what your pals are playing.
