Hey C, Will they be releasing an orange Zune soon? because i'd totally trade my black one for it anyday.

Sean

yes I would love an orange Zune!!! hook me up Cesar =) pppplllzzzz

Do you care to respond to rumors of orange and pink ( sorry, it's not pink... its light red ) retail production zunes?

I already ordered my White Zune, but I would gladly purchase another one ( orange ) and give my old one to my Mom or Brother.

You guys do not know how many more Zunes you guys would be selling if these colors were available to consumers. I have a black one and I have been asking what would they like in future Zunes, I will post what they said later, but anyways, they all say that if there would be additional colors, they would so get one right now. Something to consider?

Other concepts people (both techies and not) were telling me they would like (Ages 14-17).

+smaller models

+different colors

+able to send videos

+come up with a different DRM for music makers

+thinner models

+camera, phone (all-in-one device)

+more storage options

+MORE advertising, like A LOT (people say that if there were more commercials, they would know more about, so make some commercials that talk about the amazing features (like the Lion and the Gazelle)

+able to download Movies, TV Shows from Zune Marketplace (only I think that this is very imminent because under the Zune Device options, you can select the quality for "Movies and TV Shows")

So yeah, I think that this kind of information should be very useful to you guys because its raw and direct research directly from the source of people that Zune is aimed at. I'm 16 and am a Microsoft enthusiast, so my reviews would be sorta biased, so I decided to ask other people and, through a lot of work, accept their high demands for a Zune model. They all say that they would buy one, but if it was thinner, that is the major concern. To me, I don't seem to care, I'm not the kinda person who plans to be running with it or anything, it's perfect for me... al rato y buena suerte Cesar.

That orange one is so sexy.

YO MOMMA

A blue zune would be awesome.

Retep.

A white Zune with a touch-sensitive knob and proper interface would be AwEsOme.. Slapping a stainless steel cover on would make it even better !.

And if you'd make it work with proper formats and stop crippling function over fear and pressure from the industries it would be insanely great !.

What ? you think I'm revering to an iPod ?? no. A toaster !. If the zune were a toaster it would ROCK !.

NICE! Steeling your friends zune!!! Just like M$....HAHHAAHA!!! GO IPOD!

PINK PINK PINK!! With rhinestones all over it,,,SOOO HOT! The colors avail now seem to me targeted at a male audience. I know that cant be the case, but men do tend to be more techies than women. I think the zune looks like a great product and I really want one, but only in pink.

Anyone used the Zune software from http://www.zunevideoconverter.com/ ? How long will it take you to put a 2-hour DVD to your Zune?

Mophead

Devin

Dylan
