Official Zune site
Zune players now come in five colors and new players rumored to be released soon.

Zune is to be a family of wireless media devices from Microsoft that allow users to play and share music, movies and pictures. The first generation plays music and video with features like an industry leading 3 inch large screen on a 30GB hard drive model with a wireless chip which permits Zune to Zune music sharing. ZuneMAX was one of the first Zune blogs and community forums online since June 11, 2006 with just about everything you ever wanted to know about the Microsoft Zune and the Zune MarketPlace beginning with our news blog below or in the Zune message boards.

Zune wireless players are made for sharing and so is ZuneMAX.com. File uploads and downloads and music sharing are encouraged and we share loads of new music and video content from the top of the charts to up and coming artists and unsigned bands or musicians including new stuff from our fan base in the Zune forums.

It will coat $15 a month for the Zune Pass Service
The Zune Home AV Pack will cost $100 What we think we know (Aren’t Positive of Yet)
The Zune might have a 400MHz DSP processor (Most likely to be a little lower)
The Zune might have Xbox Live Anywhere integration.
Microsoft will try to buy your way out of iTunes in order to convert you to a Zune user.
Free Downloads might be available with the purchase of a new Zune (limited time)
The Zune has a might be like a…”A Microsoft portable Music Device”
The Zune will run a program called “Windows Mobile” What we don’t know yet (No clue if they are true or just rumors)
The Zune MIGHT (slim chance) have XM or Sirius satellite services built in.
The Zune might have VoIP capabilitiesDefinitions

VoIP: Also know as Voice over Internet Protocol is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or through any other IP-based network in such case of WiFi.

Windows Mobile: Windows Mobile is a compact operating system combined with a suite of basic applications for mobile devices based on the Microsoft Win32 API. Devices which run Windows Mobile include Pocket PCs, Smartphones, and Portable Media Centers. It is designed to be somewhat similar to desktop versions of Windows.

Anti-Shock: A common software and integrated into the hard drive to help prevent the crash of your hard drive. By detecting sudden movements (similar to dropping the Zune) the software will automatically kick in and help “cushion” the fall by placing the hard drive into a low battery use state, so if it is to have bad effects they won’t be as bad cause its as if the Zune is almost off.

Posted on Endgadget: “We also understand that Zune to Zune wireless song transfer – a PlaysForSure feature currently highlighted in the MusicGremlin — is said to be a prominent aspect of the device’s development”

That sounds like a great social networking feature. It appears that Microsoft is looking forward to building a following with the Zune. Lets hope it catches on and does well. i think Apple could use a little competition.

There seem to an endless number of features on this new gadget. Lets hope they all work. I think the portable gaming features are awesome.  I think it would be cool as an Xbox on the go wiht integrated Xbox Live features and mobile gaming.

The wireless data transfer features are very cool but lets hope there is some security built in. I can see some script kiddie building a music file virus for sharing with other Zune users. Sounds nasty but you know it will happen.
