Zunerama is saying the the 16GB flash player will come in Blue-on-Silver and Black-on-Black. Are they making any changes to the 8GB colour lineup, or are they just keeping Black, Red and Pink?

Default Windows Live services?

I'd like to know about integration with Windows Live services. I've overheard that Zune activity will start appearing on newsfeeds of our friends on Windows Live Spaces (e.g. "Jim has just created a new playlist on Zune Social"). Can you confirm if that's true and ask about any other Windows Live related features?

Interesting - that's the first I've heard of that. On the 16th you'll have to check that out for yourself.

I haven't read the press release yet but the feature I've been dying for since I got my Zune is video subscription. Any chance of seeing that?

Nope, nothing about that either. We didn't meet with anyone from the Marketplace team, which is a shame because there's lots to discuss there.

There's nothing on that yet unfortunately - hell, the Zune is released in Canada and there's still no word on having the Marketplace in Canada.

Default Zune Marketplace in Canada

I have just one question for the Zune Team:

When is Zune MARKETPLACE coming to Canada (any specific date)?

Cheers Jason!

A couple questions (thank you for the opportunity!!)

1) Any idea when we'll see mac support? Some of my best friends are stuck with mac's due to working in the film industry and I wanna share me some songs with them.

2) Have they added an audible que to let someone know you want to share a song with them? Or how about the option to auto accept wireless transfers? I've tried on a few occasions to share music with people, but they're never looking at their device to hit ok. I hope I haven't overlooked the feature.

3) Any advancement in playlist creation on the go? I never know in advance what I want to listen to, but I often want to combine a couple artists for the day. The ipod I had before my Zune handled this nicely where everytime your device went to sleep between use sessions it would save off your last on-the-go playlist allowing you to make a new one. It also had the ability to remove songs from your on-the-go playlist which is really important when you love 90% of an album but hate a couple songs.

Otherwise sing them some praise, I really love my zune original and hope to hock my 80 to get some more storage space and a new fancy etching.

::edit:: OH YEAH, remembered 2 more quick little questions

4) Any chance they can make it so when you hit the zune pad during video playback it brings up the status bar? I can't think of the reason why but I know I'm often watching something and am curious how far into it I am, but to find out I need to pause then unpause it. Similar to how the screen comes back on when you touch the pad while listening to music.

5) Any chance we can get some form of tv-out adjustment? I've been using my zune to watch Naruto with my aunt who loves it suprisingly and the overscan on her tv eats some of the subtitles near the edge. Any chance they could add a simple shrink option with a few levels so it can be tweaked for various tv's?

ok, that's all the questions i've always wanted to ask.
