Zune details emerge... YEAH baby!!!

Cesar Menendez at https://www.zuneinsider.com/ has released some details on our upcoming holiday offering.  I am really happy that in addition to playing music, it plays video.  With a 30GB hard drive, I would imagine I'll be able to add some kewl movies to it for my frequent travels.

For the press releases, pictures, logos and all of the fun stuff, see https://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/zune/default.mspx.

There are documents describing the Car Pack, Home A/V Pack, and Travel Pack.

Now that the details are out, I know what my teens are going to be wanting for Christmas from Santa Claus...  assuming Santa Claus can get three.  Otherwise, Santa Claus may get greedy.

UPDATE:   Check out the juicy details on the supported audio and video formats in the Engadget interview with Microsoft Corporate VP J Allard at https://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/the-engadget-interview-j-allard-microsoft-corporate-vice-presi/.
