Microsoft today unveiled details of the first products to be released under its
Zune brand. Microsoft says that its upcoming music player centers around connection to your user library, friends, community
and other devices.
Available this holiday season in the United States, Zune includes a
30GB digital media player, the Zune Marketplace music service and the early trappings of a
foundation for an online community. The Zune device features wireless technology, a built-in FM
tuner and a bright, 3-inch screen that allows users view
music, pictures and video, and to customize the experience with
personal pictures or themes. Zune comes
in three colors: black, brown and white.
To enhance the Zune experience, three accessory packs will be released to help Zune users
enjoy their music where they want to:
The Zune Car Pack (built-in FM tuner with AutoSeek and the Zune
Car Charger); Zune Home A/V Pack (Zune
AV Output Cable, Zune Dock, Zune Sync Cable, Zune AC Adapter and the
Zune Wireless Remote for Zune Dock); and the Zune Travel Pack (Zune Premium Earphones, Zune Dual
Connect Remote, Zune Gear Bag, Zune Sync Cable and the Zune AC Adapter).
