Microsoft Officially Announces Zune
Even though everyone knew about it. I mean honestly, I was pretty appalled when Apple tried to sue great news sites such as Think Secret for posting secrets, but at least they try and keep them.
Engadget has a great write up of all that is known, sort of hinted at and straight up rumors surrounding the device. Some of the more interesting ones…
Zune is the name of the project, the brand, and the device.
The first Zune device will be launched this year, with more devices to come in 2007.
The Zune brand encompasses not only the device, but the software that will drive it, as well as a music, movie, and media service the Zune device family will use for acquiring, sharing, and discovery of said media. Music will be the first angle of service that is launched, “connected entertainment” being the ultimate goal
Interesting to say the least. Maybe this will force Apple to come out with the true iPod video sometime soon.
And by the way, the teaser website Microsoft has set up…creepiest thing ever.
