Microsoft apparently showed two new Zunes to reporters today–a $149 four-gig version and a $249 eight-gig model–and is allegedly going to start offering DRM-free music in the Zune Marketplace. I have to admit, hearing this news made me a little nostalgic for the days when a new Zune-related launch would be accompanied by some music blogger paparazzi shots. Now, all I’ll have to look forward to is this guy’s next tattoo. [Silicon Alley Insider]
