The long rumoured and awaited zune is finally launched. Microsoft hasn’t announced pricing or availability for Zune.
Microsoft has been waiting for this moment for quite some time, and now the time has come. Apple had its day in the spotlight on Tuesday when it announced its 5.5G iPod, 2G iPod Nano and 2G iPod Shuffle, but Microsoft today is touting its new Zune Portable Media Player.
What was once known as “Project Argo” now has to start the long journey uphill to take on the dominant champ Cupertino, California. Details about the player really started coming to light last month when the Toshiba 1089 appeared on the FCC website (always a great source for upcoming products). From the documents, we gathered that Zune will feature a 30GB HDD, 802.11b/g wireless connectivity, an FM tuner, USB 2.0 interface and a massive 3″ LCD screen. Microsoft confirmed all of those specifications today and disclosed a few more for good measure….
Here is a video of Zune in action after the jump.
