I'm eager to get my hands on one of these when they arrive. As much as I enjoy my Ipod, I long for some changes, so I'm hoping Zune will offer up some real competition.
*************
As an aside, Gizmodo notes the following:
"The reason the shot is in black and white is because Microsoft assigned a unique color scheme to every Zune prototype in existence right now—all 150 of them—so any leaks could be traced to the employee who leaked it. We don't want to be jerks and get anybody fired."
Perhaps I'm wrong here, but even though this Zune prototype was photographed in black and white, my understanding is that even in black and white photography, all colors have unique tonal values. So couldn't this photo be analyzed in such a way that it could be determined what the colors were originally and as a result be traced back to the person who is responsible for this particular prototype? Seems like an awful risk to me if it means potentially losing one's job for having released said photo. I would have thought Microsoft would have thought of this possibility.
