REDMOND, Wash. — Sept. 14, 2006 — Marking the next big milestone for its Connected Entertainment vision, Microsoft Corp. today unveiled details of the first products to be released under its Zune™ brand. Designed around the principles of sharing, discovery and community, Zune will create new ways for consumers to connect and share entertainment experiences. The Zune experience centers around connection — connection to your library, connection to friends, connection to community and connection to other devices. “The digital music entertainment revolution is just beginning,” said J Allard, vice president, design and development, at Microsoft, who is leading the charge for building the family of Zune products. “With Zune, we are not simply delivering a portable device, we are introducing a new platform that helps bring artists closer to their audiences and helps people find new music and develop new social connections.” The Zune Experience Available this holiday season in the United States, Zune includes a 30GB digital media player, the Zune Marketplace music service and a foundation for an online community that will enable music fans to discover new music. The Zune device features wireless technology, a built-in FM tuner and a bright, 3-inch screen that allows users to not only show off music, pictures and video, but also to customize the experience with personal pictures or themes to truly make the device their own. Zune comes in three colors: black, brown and white. Every Zune device creates an opportunity for connection. Wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing lets consumers spontaneously share full-length sample tracks of select songs, homemade recordings, playlists or pictures with friends between Zune devices. Listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times over three days. If you like a song you hear and want to buy it, you can flag it right on your device and easily purchase it from the Zune Marketplace. Zune makes it easy to find music you love — whether it’s songs in your existing library or new music from the Zune Marketplace. Easily import your existing music, pictures and videos in many popular formats and browse millions of songs on Zune Marketplace, where you can choose to purchase tracks individually or to buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. To get started with great music and videos out of the box, every Zune device is preloaded with content from record labels such as DTS, EMI Music’s Astralwerks Records and Virgin Records, Ninja Tune, Playlouderecordings, Quango Music Group, Sub Pop Records, and V2/Artemis Records. Zune Accessories To enhance the Zune experience, three accessory packs help Zune users enjoy their music where they want to, at home or on the road. The packs and the individual accessories, all designed exclusively for Zune, will be available at launch: | • | The Zune Car Pack includes everything needed to hit the road with a Zune device, such as the built-in FM tuner with AutoSeek and the Zune Car Charger. | | • | The Zune Home A/V Pack enhances your experience in the home through five products that integrate Zune with the TV and music speakers: Zune AV Output Cable, Zune Dock, Zune Sync Cable, Zune AC Adapter and the Zune Wireless Remote for Zune Dock. | | • | Zune Travel Pack is a set of five products designed to keep friends and family entertained on the road: Zune Premium Earphones, Zune Dual Connect Remote, Zune Gear Bag, Zune Sync Cable and the Zune AC Adapter. |
Providing consumers with additional options to customize and personalize their Zune experience, Microsoft is also working with leading accessory manufacturers Altec Lansing, Belkin Corp., Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO), Dual Electronics, Griffin Technology, Harman Kardon and JBL, Integrated Mobile Electronics, Jamo International, Klipsch Audio Technologies, Logitech, Monster Cable Products Inc., Speck, Targus Group International Inc. and VAF Research The Future is Bright In addition to the features available at launch, built-in wireless technology and powerful software provide a strong foundation to continue to build new shared experiences around music and video. As Zune evolves, the device can be easily updated. The Zune software on your PC will let you know when these updates are available for download. About Zune Zune is Microsoft’s music and entertainment platform that provides an end-to-end solution for Connected Entertainment. The Zune experience includes a 30GB digital media player, the Zune Marketplace music service, and a foundation for an online community that will enable music fans to discover new music. Inspired by the vast and varied community of music fans, Zune focuses on helping emerging artists shape the digital canvas. Zune is part of Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices division and supports the company’s software-based services vision to help drive innovation in the digital entertainment space.

Click here for the current list of cheap zune deals
Will the Zune be the iPod killer machine? That is certainly Microsoft's long term goal. The system is set to release Christmas 2006, and GAMERDeals.net will list the best places and cheap zune deals out there!
Some Zune snippets:
Zune is an umbrella term from Microsoft that will cover the upcoming portable media player, the software that will drive the device and a service for acquiring and sharing media. The project was previously known as codename Argo. The Zune is currently under production at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
It was previously thought that Zune was one of Microsoft's media players under "Project Argo", similar to Apple's iPod family. However, it now seems that the "Zune" brand will be used for all media players and other services, throughout the new project.
In an interview with Billboard, Chris Stephenson of MSN Entertainment Business affirmed that first device is planned to include Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless Internet access, with the ability for users to transfer files wirelessly and share files between each other. Billboard also reports that other devices are planned for release under the Zune brand, including a portable video player. A rumored portable gaming device has not been confirmed.
Xbox branding
Certain reports have suggested that the Zune will carry the Xbox branding. These reports also suggest that there is a portable gaming system in the works, much like the Sony PSP. Analysts predict that Microsoft will debut a portable console in 2007/2008. This device is speculated to be released as part of the Zune initiative.
J Allard, creator of the Xbox 360, is rumored to be overseeing development.
iTunes
Microsoft is said to be offering the chance to swap already-purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, in exchange for WMA versions, for playback on Zune. This would help iPod and iTunes users move to Zune, as Apple's FairPlay content protection scheme that protects iTunes Music Store purchases is not available on any non-Apple software or device.
One intriguing rumor is that Microsoft would offer iTunes Music Store's customers the option to repurchase all the songs they've bought as protected Windows Media files. This would certainly be a bold move that would remove one of Apple customers' barriers to entry, but it smacks of the kind of win-at-all-costs freebiemania of the dotcom era. Surely, there are already customers who have spent hundreds of dollars or more at the iTunes Music Store. Completely reimbursing those customers would essentially amount to giving the player away. Imagine if Microsoft had offered a free Xbox game for every PlayStation 2 game purchased when it entered the video game console market.
Online store
Microsoft is rumored to have plans for an online music service. It would offer two options, the first being a monthly subscription where users could listen to any songs in the Zune music store library for as long as the user is subscribed. Also, subscribers to this option of service would also be able to share their own music and playlists with other Zune subscribers. The other option would be like every other music store where individual songs could be purchased for permanent download.
The Zune service is also intended to give artists many ways to connect directly to the service's users such as having weekly updates from the artists to fans.
Hardware
In the week-and-a-half since the rumors sprung up, all sorts of details about what is being dubbed the Zune have emerged. Reportedly, the player will have a click-wheel interface similar to that of the iconic iPod. However, the hardware inside is reportedly much beefier. It will run Windows Mobile on a 400MHz DSP processor, contain a 30GB hard drive, and built-in WiFi.
Price
If the rumors are true—and our sources at Microsoft have chosen to remain silent on the issue—we can expect to see a full-featured mobile device from Microsoft that's tied into its URGE music venture and will support music, video, playing games, and possibly even satellite radio. The price point is rumored to be US$399, the same as the high-end iPod, but the Zune will only have a 30GB drive inside. If Microsoft actually is developing an iPod killer—and we think there is a large dose of truth to the reports—expect to see it just in time for the holiday shopping frenzy. Whether it will be enough to grab 20 percent of the iPod market, as Microsoft reportedly hopes, remains to be seen.
Hype campaign
On July 21, 2006, several news sites reported that Microsoft launched a viral video marketing campaign for Zune. The site, ComingZune.com features a short animation of a man, a rabbit, and a very small person with Regina Spektor's song "Us" in the background, followed by the official Zune logo and a form to sign up for updates. Various claims have been made that the site is a fake, and not associated with Microsoft.
