Yeap, you heard right, the Zune 2 has been announced, and one would hope is in production. From the pictures, the second generation looks a lot better than the first. It is to be smaller with better styling & extra features. The price tag will initially be between the $149 and $249 range, depending on the model, so should compete very well with the iPod (hopefully). And you know what else? Most of the things users have asked for in the Zune are there - including most importantly the wireless capabilities not being crippled. Also, the buyers of the original Zune will receive a software update to give them all the features of the Zune 2. Now that is a proper brand loyalty reward! Try not to come to any conclusions between what Microsoft are doing and what Apple did with the iPhone/iPod Touch. No, really, don’t.. Let’s just hope the Zune 2 isn’t a damp squib of a launch like the Zune. Gizmodo has the full report, [SHOW ME]
