First of all here is the article on IWantAPinkZune talking about the October 16th, without giving more information about its source. And a part from the ZuneScene interview with its anonymous source:

[...]

ZuneScene: Do you have a set release date?
Source: Right now we are gunning for Oct 16th
ZuneScene: What about the pictures leaked on the internet, are they real?
Source: what pictures?
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.
ZuneScene: Will there be green along with red, pink and black?  The picture doesn't show  green.
Source: Yes the green looks like an old army jeep green, the pink looks like pepto  bismol.
ZuneScene: What about the big zunes, the scorpios?
Source: Scorpio looks like the original, but with the squircle.

So according to this ZuneScene source, the new hard-drive model will still have 80GB capacity to compete against the the 80GB and 160GB new iPods Classic and the Zune Flash 4GB and 8GB exactly like the new fat iPod Nano. Of course there are many other features which can make (or not) the difference.
