I suppose you must have seen many special Zune editions on this site. Now Zune team offers branding options to academic institutions. This means Microsoft can print schools or universities logo on Zune to create on demand Zune Editions. Special content preloading is another feature to make these Zunes even more attractive...
From Michael Greene blog :
Up until now if you wanted devices with your own design you had to purchase "skins" which were basically something you stuck to the outside of a device in order to give it more aesthetic appeal. The Zune branding is printed on the device by the manufacturer. Think about a fine paint job on a tricked out sports car as opposed to decals someone tried to apply themselves.

The Zune team is also able to work with customers to pre-load content. This takes your branding from just being proud of a device to a full audio/photo/video experience!
The Nylon TV Special Edition Zune, may indicate this feature is available broader, for companies too:
