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]

    Uh-oh… looks like you guys weren’t invited. :(

    + Does ALL of the new version have wifi (And is it crippled all to hell like the previous ones?) I say that because that’s one thing I’m mad at Apple for not doing: Putting wifi only on the high-end iPod Touch models. I’d love to have wifi on an iPod Nano!

    ++ Give them some credit: If they are to start selling non-DRM tracks, too, then we can be sure that this is DRMs slow death march.

    Misprint by Idolator — $249 80 gig Zune, $200 8 gig Zune, $150 4 gig Zune.

    Guys — we get that you don’t like it, but you should still make sure your facts are straight before you bash.

    @Halfwit: it was actually a misprint by the source originally. but thanks for letting me know.

    8 gig Zune or 80 gig iPod classic? What a hard choice!
