Microsoft has revealed their new Zunes which will be available starting in November. There will be 4GB and 8GB flash versions that can be compared to the iPod nano and an 80GB hard drive version that is slightly smaller than the last go round.
So what’s new about these “new zunes”? By far the coolest addition is Wireless Synching of your songs and your library… now that’s the hotness! Plus a new marketplace will allow you to download DRM free music and automatic download of your favorite shows and podcasts via Windows Media Player! Good stuff…
Other additions are a revamp of the Zune Marketplace and a social network similar to myspace that is going to be called Zune Social… pretty straight forward. It may be more likened to an XBox 360 gamercard where you can add friends and see your favorite songs and what people are listening too, etc..
The Zunes haven’t been all that impressive to date, but this is definitely a step in the right direction. It will be interesting how the functionality of all this works out - we’ll let you know!
