Please welcome Jon Barrett, who has come in from the heat wave we’re having here in New York to tell us about the new Zunes, flatscreen TVs, downloading lawsuits, and appliances for those of you who can’t hold it in any longer.
Microsoft’s Zune gets a face-lift next month. The company introduced three new models, including 4GB and 8 GB flash devices and an 80 GB player. The new Zunes have a touch-sensitive control panel so you can flick through tunes, and the music store has been expanded to include more than a million DRM-free MP3s. There’s also a new website, Zune Social, so Zune owners can get together and show what they’re listening to, via Zune Cards. Apple could learn a thing or two from this update, too. As Microsoft reports: Existing Zune owners will automatically receive new software features, the redesigned PC and device software, and access to the new Zune Marketplace.
