Zune 2 Official, Photo specs get revealed
The upcoming Zune 2 just gets official. Price at a cool $249 for the 80GB hard drive model and $149/$199 for the 4GB and 8GB flash-based models respectively. As you would know it comes with WiFi which automatically sync with your PC or laptop. The Zune pad is touch sensitive much like the iPod click wheel.
The 80GB Zune comes with a large 3.2-inch screen, just one color to choose from thats “black”. Wow its much thinner and small than the original Zune . The flash Zune on the other hand coming with lots of colors pink, green, black and red, plus its much skinny then the Zune. It now supports additional video codes: h.264 and MPEG4, so no need to convert your videos to WMV and a DRM-free music store.
Zune’s also getting a Zune Social social-networking site plus you don’t need to even register to be a part of the network. Seems like Microsoft is taking on iPod seriously, but still they need to get a better more cooler designs for the Zune. Most of the consumers make purchases based off of reputation and looks, rather then functionality as is the case of iPod which doesn’t have that many features like most devices in the same category but the milky white block is the largest selling music player out there.
