Authentic photos of the upcoming Microsoft Zune 2? Sure, we’ll believe it when we see it. Which, err, might be now, as both Gizmodo and Zune Scene are claiming the above image of the next version is genuine…
Microsoft cuts $50 off the price of a Zune
Yesterday, no doubt to capitalise slightly on Apple’s iPod frenzy, Microsoft announced on its official Zune blog that the decent media player is getting its price hacked down to $199 with immediate effect.
Zune Insider also reports that “customer satisfaction” with the 30GB Zune…
Microsoft gives Zune a 'B-' for its first year on sale, hints at ZunePhone
Here’s to consumer tech execs eschewing hype in favour of realistic assessments of their products.

Zune and iPod, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G.
