Microsoft Zune

We thought that $149 Microsoft Zune on Woot would have sold out immediately, but apparently it’s still up on the site. You have until midnight (or until the last one’s sold). [Woot]

Woot has the white Microsoft Zune up for $149 today. [Woot – Thanks Marco!]

Dealzmodo Update: Dell Cancels Zune Dealzmodo Orders

Our Dell Zune Dealzmodo where you could get a Black Zune for $104 seems to be totally canceled. Dell reneged on the deal because they attributed the price drop to an “internal system error,” and canceled all outstanding orders of the Zune player. So if you didn’t get in, don’t worry about it. And if…

Psychedelic New Zune Commercial Airs This Saturday

Here’s a new commercial for the Microsoft Zune that’s just been completed. Directed by Ryan Dunn for Vitamin Pictures, our insiders tell us it’ll air this Saturday. The graphics were created in Adobe Illustrator (and a bit of Photoshop, too) and then animated using Maya 3D, Sketch Toon (a plugin for Maya) and Adobe After…

Every Exclusive Halo 3 Zune Photo

I’m really bad at Halo. But I can see all the Halo-themed videos, photos, and songs on the Special Edition Zune going a long way toward making this Zune pantsworthy for the fanboys. Here’s a 135-shot gallery of all the artwork (photographed, not ripped, out of respect for the Zune team’s hard work.) Click to…

Halo 3 Zune Box is Really, Really Nice

You already saw the Halo 3 edition Zune last Friday, but here’s the actual box. Noah was right: This thing is a work of art. https://gizmodo.com/first-pics-of-the-zune-halo-3-special-edition-259877 Photos of the exclusive Halo 3 content to come in a few minutes.

Rumor: Zune Flash and Zune 2.0 on June 1st, Zune Track Purchases over WiFi

These photos claim to show a first-gen Zune running a firmware 2.14 that can purchase and download tracks over Wi-Fi with Microsoft points. They come from the same friendly Zune source that sent us the first photos of Zune 2.0 that some readers thought were Photoshopped. I can’t tell if this is merely a first-gen…

New Zune Adult Swim Limited Edition

Last night, as esteemed members of the TV industry and press went to preview the Adult Swim season ahead, they got a treat. Instead of watching the new content in some stuffy theater by projector, they got to take home limited edition Adult Swim Zunes preloaded with shows. And they even got to jump in…

Zune Phone Interface Revealed?

There’s no way of telling whether this is the rumored Zune phone’s interface, but the guys at Mad4Mobiles recently dug up this MS patent that shows what looks like a smartphone interface. The interface has icons for TV, music, weather and shopping. Personally I think it looks a little too cluttered, but if this is…

Zune Pink and Orange Pics Surface, Red On the Way?

You’ve probably already read our posts about the pink and orange Zunes that’ll be rolling out in May, but the pictures we had at the time left a lot to be desired. Now the guys at Zune Scene have gotten their hands on some great-looking shots, emphasizing the Zune’s unique (or is it?) “doubleshot casting”…

Proof That Zune Screens Are Cracking?

Microsoft may be denying it, but a handful of Zune owners are still insisting that their player’s screens are cracking on their own for no apparent reason. One of the owners went as far as taking stills and video of his damaged Zune. Apparently the crack is only visible when the Zune is turned on.…

Zune Mobile Terrorizes NY’s Lower East Side with Timberlake Songs

The last place I wanna be found on a Saturday night is the lower east side, but that’s precisely where Microsoft’s Zune mobile (a Toyota FJ Cruiser) set up camp this past Sunday morning blasting Timberlake’s “Sexy Back” at 3am. I’m sure it impressed the inebriated NJ and Long Island types that were stumbling their…

Microsoft Sponsors Frat Party To Make Zune Cool

While most of the Free World has already written off the Microsoft Zune as being way too little, way too late, that didn’t stop the Redmond behemoth from desperately trying to make its Little DAP That Couldn’t appear to be “cool” at U Penn. The company sponsored a Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat party last weekend,…

Further Proof of Incoming Zune Phone?

Earlier this week we smashed a rumor about a Zune Phone tech support call center contract. Today MarketWatch points out that the boys at Redmond have submitted a wireless device to the FCC for testing. Not just any wireless device, but one that can be used for talking over the Internet. Granted, the filing doesn’t…

Microsoft Sending Zune to Fat Camp?

It looks like Microsoft is sending its portly player to fat camp. While updating folks on the Zune’s European launch, Zune marketing chief Chris Stephenson admitted that Microsoft is working on a new line of Zunes, including a thinner flash-based player. Stephenson also hinted at the release of a “truly Wi-Fi-enabled” Zune. What that means…

Zune 58% Welcomes You to the Social

Microsoft Zune propaganda welcomes you to the social, but that’s only about a 58% welcome, because sites around the blogosphere are noticing that around 42% of the songs they’re trying to share Zune-to-Zune are on the “Zune sharing prohibited” list. Even that three days/3 plays DRM slapped on every shared song is not enough for…

Zune Website Podcast Downloads: Almost

The Microsoft Zune website still doesn’t have podcast support that’s as good as iTunes, but the Zune nation does seem to be limping toward easier podcast downloads. Take a look at its “Pass It On” page, and if you follow the NPR Podcasts link and click on a podcast within, you’ll see a button labeled…

Zune Getting Down with Games

Maybe the boys at Redmond knew what was coming today cause they’ve decided to ramp up their Zune with games. Microsoft wouldn’t say what type of games the Zune will be able to play (Doom? Rad Racer? Bejeweled?), but it’s obviously a move to catch up with Apple. The downside, you’ll have to wait till…

Proporta Cases Make Zune Safe for Socializing

You know, it isn’t just the iPod that gets tricked out accessories and protective cases every fourteen seconds. Proporta just announced a bunch of cases for the Microsoft Zune, which is good news for all those Zune users out there. Three cases—aluminum, leather and silicone—all serve to protect your precious Zune from the bumps and…

12-year Old Gets Pr0n-Filled Zune For the Holidays

Chanell Martin thought she was being a cool mom when she gave her 12-year old daughter a shiny new Zune for the Holidays. But as it turns out, her daughter’s “welcome to the social” was anything but innocent. Apparently the Zune, which Martin purchased at a local Walmart, came with a 1-hour and 44-minute homemade…
