The Zune tattoo guy has to be pretty stoked right about now. And he's probably the only one.
Oh yeah, and he got a third tattoo.
ZuneScene spoke to a Microsoft about the new Zunes (who even thought they'd get to a 2.0 model?) and confirmed that their new release date is October 16th. They will be available in 4, 8, and 80 GB models.
Here's a choice bit from their conversation:
ZuneScene: They show the flash Zune you call draco in pink, red, and black with no chrome bezel around the LDC screen
Source: sounds right, do they show the squircle?
ZuneScene: What's that?
Source: The new button is like a square or polygon with rounded edges, it's not a perfect circle.
ZuneScene: Yes, the pictures show that.
Source: It doesn't have a center button, but it has a dome underneath so you can push it from any side, its really cool. If the pictures show the squircle they are correct.
ZuneScene: Are the back and play buttons positioned like Mickey Mouse ears?
Source: Yes, on the small Zune they are. On the big one they are on the sides.
Squircle? Oh...my...Lord.
