Zune 2 Announcement Tuesday Oct. 2
10.01.07 - 02:06pm
The new Zunes will be announced tomorrow, October 2nd, in Redmond at a Microsoft held event.
There is expected to be a couple of new Zunes being released, with flash-based memory. One is reported to look a lot like the iPod nano, similar to the old Zune design, but smaller measuring 3-inches by 1.25 inches.
The new Zunes are expected to support video and possibly Wi-Fi, with larger storage capabilities than their competition.
Bill Gates will be at the announcement along with his Design and Development Chief, J Allard. Gates and Allard are expected to talk on the Zune’s long term commitment to being part of the MP3 world, and also to give details of the new Zune community site which will launch in beta soon.
Microsoft is reportedly manufacturing 2.4 million Zune 2’s for the holiday season. Currently Microsoft sells one Zune to ever 25 or so iPods sold.
The launch of the new Zunes is expected to be in November. Still no word on when if ever the Zune will be sold in Europe.
