I can’t wait to try one of these new digital content players. It’s the Zune from Microsoft which is now official although it’s been rumored and talked about for quite a while. You can see some more photos over on Engadget which has this to say about it.

Not a lot of surprises in the specs department, but they’ve confirmed the basics we’ve known for a while, like WiFi, 30GB of HDD, built-in FM, a 3-inch screen and the basic music, pictures and video playback. They also finally let slip the screen res — an unsurprising QVGA — and some better news on the codec front: the Zune supports h.264, MP3, AAC and WMA.

It sounds like we may see these available by the holidays. Keep it in mind for your gift giving. A new device to listen to the ZimmCast on!
