So much for that ta-da moment
tomorrow -- Microsoft just confirmed the fall Zune lineup a little earlier than planned, and it's almost
exactly as leaked: capacity bumps to 120GB and 16GB, new WiFi music store, Zune 3.0 software with recommendations and pre-programmed theme channels, and two new games, Hexic and Texas Hold 'Em. Oh, and that snappy
blue flash Zune we just spotted. Pricing is similarly unsurprising, seeing as
we've had it for a week: the 120GB Zune is $250, while the 16GB flash model is $199 and the 8 gigger is $149. Oh well, at least we still have those
new mice and webcams to look forward to tomorrow, right? Certainly
nothing else is going on.
Update: The official PR is out, looks like Zune owners can look forward to the Zune 3.0 software update on September 16. Oh, and there's new Audible support as well. Rock on, rockers.
