OS X support will probably come. Just like Apple now supports windows with the ipods(then again, there are a lot more windows users). I think this would definitely boost sales with the zune. Then again, M$ has a lot of pride!?!

Completely.

I actually do my laundry by hand, but thankfully I live with my parents so I don't have to do it too often! Anyway, back to the Zune, I really like the doubleshot. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more vibrant colours like a red / blue or a silver / gold and a higher resolution screen.

Any idea if the release date will be closer to this summer or fall?

I will definetely be watching these as well as the new nano/ipod.

...Couldn't care less what it looks like, as long as it has more storage, no bugs, and keeps the great (or improves the great) SQ.

So the reason the Zune never came out in the UK/Europe at all was because Microsoft was using NA as a test subject. Work out the bugs, iron out the kinks and find out what customers do not like. We will now be able to join the game with a new, sleeker and shinier package at hand

Any chance of drag+drop though Microsoft???



Still won't buy one though

 

[justin2net]

most important; clean line-out, bigger harddrive. then gapless and flac support. dump the wifi if you need more room.

 

[Ricardo Dawkins]

^^yeah, dump the Wifi and the small Zune will social alone...

I would get one if battery life > 20hours
gapless
UMS
line out?

 

[rockin_amigo14]

gapless and line-out are definitely possible, especially since they are selling points of the iPod. MS will hopefully increase battery life. 14 hours for 30gigs is not very good. actually, it's not very good for any DAP, but for 30gigs, it's also rather inconvenient.

don't expect UMS from microsoft. ever.

I think I'll be holding out for one of these, and selling my ZVM and D2. The ZVM is extremely laggy, and has yet to really impress me with the SQ, even after almost a year.

I love the D2, but it's just too difficult to have to keep switching around music all the time.

All my music is at 192 kbps or more MP3, so I don't really have a need for lossless.
