As for ballyhoo, wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing is where the real action is at, and it works pretty much like we've been hearing: you can share a full-length track with a friend, and they've got three times to listen to it over a three day period, after which they can flag the song for purchase on the Zune Marketplace -- unless they're an unlimited "Zune Pass" subscriber, of course. You can also share playlists and pictures with your buddies, along with what we suppose are "unprotected" homemade recordings. So far Microsoft isn't mentioning Live Anywhere functionality, but they do hint heavily at future software updates to take even better advantage of the wireless capabilities. Of course, it all really comes down to matching your Zune with that snazzy new fall wardrobe of yours, and to that end the Zune comes in black, brown and white. Sadly, Microsoft still won't spill the beans on pricing and availability, so we'll keep an eye out for that just like always.

The "Zune Marketplace" is how MS will sell music:
Also, Altec Lansing, DLO, Griffin, Klipsch, Logitech, Harman Kardan are all going to launch accessories for the Zune.

The brown one looks ok to me. Nothing wrong with that.

Looks interesting, but if I can't put non-DRM music on it I ain't buying. Period.

MP3s can't support DRM...
It supports WMA (DRM is included by whoever rips it...so pirated songs/your songs you rip shouldn't have it), MP3, and AAC -- all of which work without DRM.
I agree with Imran. Brown is beautiful, but not on an MP3 player.
Very nice screen. The Zune looks slick with the screen on.

If the price is competitive with the iPod (and why wouldn't it be), I think the Zune will be very successful. Great looks on it and a fabulous screen.

"Zune" sounds a bit like "zoune", which means "dick" here in Québec.

This is an ambiguous statement. "Unprotected" could be a reference to DRM vs. non-DRM, but what caught me was the very next two words: Homemade recordings. Are those something you made yourself or something you've burned/ripped/whatever-the-terminology from existing CDs or downloaded off the Internet (pirated or legally purchased)? If the sharing of such files is restricted, then could the very uploading such files to the player be restricted as well? Or are you Asher saying that DRM is just an issue with WMA, that the player won't care about the other supported file types being non-DRM?You can also share playlists and pictures with your buddies, along with what we suppose are "unprotected" homemade recordings.

Unprotected is ambiguous? To me that clearly implies files without DRM...

yay! more asherbot-spam!
now in the form of an iPod ripoff, released YEARS after iPod was released
iPod was not the first MP3 player...

It's hard to say what exactly is a ripoff of an iPod, considering that all it has in common with an iPod is it's a harddrive based MP3 player. Of which Apple was not the first.

No, but it was the first one to really take off, wasn't it? I mean, I'd heard of MP3 players before that, but I'd thought of them as something restricted to "early adopters" (read "spazzes") rather than a real commodity for the masses. iPods are different, it seems. Though I don't have one and probably never will.

What's the battery life on this thing?

Gee, I don't know. Maybe it has to do with your comment about this being a ripoff of the iPod, which is a bit confusing because by the same logic iPod ripped off Rio and Creative...Originally posted by VJ

And I think it also comes in poor timing seeing as iTunes 7 blatantly lifts one of WMP11's view features.
