Good News! The Red Zune 80 is Coming to Retail | Got Zune?

Complete Prat

Are there any plans (that you can tell us) to link the Zune to the Live Mesh?  They say that they want to add more devices like mobile phones, so wouldn't Microsofts own portable media device also have plans to be added to the new platform?

According to Zune Insider, the Red Zune 80 is starting to show up in retail stores after a stint at Zune Originals. The color must be hot, hot, hot! [Zune Insider]...

I dont care what anyone says, that Zune is sexy.

Thank you, this is great news! Hopefully this will help out Zune sales. I have a black Zune 80 right now, but I would be willing to give it to my parents, and buy a red one with a store discount. Places like circuit city sometimes have $40 off $200 or more.

Cesar, how soon is "soon"? in May?..June?

Any word on a Green Zune 80?

Ranger- never say never, but I would say it's doubtful.

complete - I'm gonna go with the old standby - "we don't comment on rumor and speculation" ;)

This is great and all. But as usual, we're all expecting big updates soon. I hope the next update will add more functionality.

As much as I love my Zune, I can't help but think Microsoft is quite a bit slow at releasing updates of any kind.

At the same time, can you drop a note to the WMP team, and give even a minor update for WMP 11? Like podcasts support better ripping of ID3 tags on CD's? Would be quite nice, since Apple does this all the time with iTunes.

They can change to colour but it's still just a bad zune underneath. They should stick with the colour that matches the product- brown.
