Default CrunchGear Gets Some Zune Hands-On Time

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://crunchgear.com/2006/10/12/crunchgear-gets-up-close-and-personal-with-zunes/#more-1635' target='_blank'>http://crunchgear.com/2006/10/12/crunchgear-gets-up-close-and-personal-with-zunes/#more-1635</a><br /><br /></div><span style="font-style: italic;">&quot;Cesar Menendez, our brother blogger over at </span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.zuneinsider.com/" style="font-style: italic;">Zune Insider</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> , was nice enough to invite us to a little Pre-Zuning at the Souped Up Cafe, where he was holding a little meet-up for all the Zune fanboys in the Seattle area. In addition, he was nice enough to let us snap a few pics of the hardware (pics of the interface were a no-no, it&rsquo;s still a work-in-progress) he&rsquo;d brought with him.We were expecting a singular Zune so we could get you guys some gear-porn (don&rsquo;t pretend you don&rsquo;t like it), but our man from Redmond brought three Zune&rsquo;s, one of each of the launch colors. So below we have a few snapshots of the Zunes (we think there should be a better pluralization than &ldquo;Zunes&rdquo;, but we&rsquo;ll leave that for later), and a hardcore video slideshow to keep you guys salivating until November 14, when, of course, you guys can get yours for $249.99.&quot;<br /><br /><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/zt/2006/crunchgear-zune-oct12.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /></span>Not much interesting here, but it's cool to hear from people that have had some hands-on time with it. What makes no sense to me though is the comment about the interface being a &quot;work in progress&quot;. These things are up for pre-sale on Amazon.com, supposedly shipping on the 14th of November...they've been produced in the factory, they're being shipped now. How could the interface be &quot;in progress&quot;? Something doesn't seem right about that. I think it's more likely that they want to save some of the &quot;wow&quot; factor for the official launch. If that's the case, they should have just said so.<span style="font-style: italic;"></span>
