Hey Microsoft, We Still Want Zune for the Mac
We've been asking for Zune on the Mac since 2006, the original release of the original Zune. In fact, it's almost a yearly thing that we keep reminding that we want Zune Plus and the other Zune features on Macs. More » -

A tipster just dropped off a few internal Microsoft docs that point to a September 8 launch of the Zune HD. In addition to that, the tipster says it's coming in 16GB and 32GB versions. All pretty logical. More » -

New Zune HD Renders Surface: Fake Fan Art or For Real?
These lack the polish and Zune-y color styling of the last leak, which leads me to believe these very well may be the work of a frothing Zune-guy-in-training. But the production levei is high. More » -

30GB Zunes Failing Everywhere, All At Once
Right, so this is a weird one: we're getting tons of reports—tons—about failing Zune 30s. Apparently, the players began freezing at about midnight last night, becoming totally unresponsive and practically useless. Update: The easy official fix here. More » -

Zune Guy Makes Yet Another Fantastic Life Decision
Zune Guy — arguably the greatest fanboy of our time — has decided to finally commit his acrimonious separation from his namesake to ink. So what does he do? He integrates the Zune logo into a tattoo of Dick Cheney as the Devil, where it serves as a makeshift inverted pentagram on the veep's forehead. As far as tattoos go, this not-quite-complete piece of agitprop is a minor improvement and much easier to explain — after all, Cheney isn't the most popular guy in the world, and people have at least heard of him.

New Zune Colors Revealed in 3.0 Software
While digging through the new Zune 3.0 software, a Zuneboards forum member discovered several new colors on 120GB and 16GB Zunes for those who want to branch out from basic black. From the looks of things a blue, white and red version are in the mix—available in different color configurations that could include a black or silver backing. Obviously, none of this has been confirmed yet—but hopefully there will be more to come. [zuneboards] -

More Sneak-Peaks at the Forthcoming Zune 3.0 Software
We've already seen Mixview, Zune 3.0's more visual take on a Genius-like auto-generating playlist, as well as some videos showing the new Wi-Fi features like Buy From FM on the device itself. Today some more interface shots of what Microsoft will help turn the Zune guy back have surfaced for you perusal. Like iTunes 8, once you get past the auto-playlisting, it doesn't look like there's too many more drastic changes or revelations over version 2.5. Other than that the Zune team really digs the Hold Steady and TI. Hey, me too! Check out a gallery below. More » -

Official: New Zune Lineup Packs More Storage, Wi-Fi Downloads
CNet spotted Microsoft jumping the gun today to avoid running into you know who: Microsoft has gone ahead and rolled out details onthe new Zune lineup we've been hearing about a day early. And it's what we've known all along: a storage bump up to 120GB for hard drive models, and an 8GB/16GB choice for flash. And the Zune 3.0 software (available to all September 16) will have the new features we've seen, including recommendations, new games (including Texas Hold 'em), and a Wi-Fi music store for downloading from hotspots with your Zune Pass (finally). Pricing is also exactly as we've reported: $250 for the 120GB, and $150/$200 for the flash, with reductions down the line for the current (as of earlier today) models. Definitely no surprises, considering some folks have already bought new 120GB Zunes. Read on for the full press release. More » -

iHome ZN9 is the World's First Zune Alarm Clock Radio
It's pretty amazing that no one's made an alarm clock radio for the Zune yet—it's been out for a year and a half already—but iHome's stepped up to the plate. The ZN9 has dual alarms, separate weekday/weekend times, backlit LCD, and of course a Zune dock. It's similar in functionality to this other iHome alarm clock we're currently testing, but this one's got an Xbox 360-like tapered case. $99 for the Microsoft fan in July. [iHome] -

Zune Hits 2 Million Sales, Drinks Creative's Milkshake
Industry numbers group NPD has just confirmed that Microsoft's Zune's sold 2 million units, just slightly under one year after it sold its first million. Where is Microsoft getting the marketshare for the extra million? Mostly from Creative, who dropped from 4% marketshare to 2% from Q1 '07 to Q1 '08. Apple's also gone down from 72% to 71%, so there might be some defectors in the fruit squad as well. Total marketshare for Microsoft now stands at a decent 4%. [PMP Today via Tech Digest] -

Zune 2.5 Update Brings TV Shows, More Social Networking, Improved Software Features
The Zune 2.5 Spring update launches tomorrow, and with it comes purchasable TV shows and even more social networking functions. The big part is more tightly-integrated social stuff—like being able to see your friends' Zune cards inside of the Zune software instead of heading to your browser—the upside of which is automatically getting the full tracks that your friends have recently listened to if you're a Zune Pass subscriber. This takes up about 100 megs per friend card. There's also improvement in the player itself, like the return of auto playlists and the introduction of gapless playback. Wee! More »
