Another last minute rumor about the new Zune Marketplace is out: It will contain 3 million tracks (more or less what it already has) and about 1 million DRM-free MP3s. The Betanews post talks also about Wireless Sync with the Zune Software and Media Center, Podcasts but no movies or TV shows. Public release will be on Wednesday...
From Betanews : [...] Every Zune will include the wireless functionality that is central to the platform's allure, and would allow customers to sync and share content wirelessly. An FM tuner would be included as well.Also for the first time, the Zune would be nearly equal to the iPod and iTunes in terms of content capabilities, with the software allowing for the organizing of music videos, pictures, and podcasts. Still missing would be television shows or movies, sources say. However, the device would allow for those with Windows Media Center to transfer recorded content to the device for portable viewing, the source said. The Zune Marketplace would receive a redesign as part of the launch, with 3 million tracks available. Possibly the most important announcement of all is up to a third of these tracks would also be available in MP3, which would be playable on any device including the iPod. [...]
If the above turn up to be true, I believe we 're gonna like the new Zunes very much! Related articles: Official Zune 2 Announcement: Price list The First Real Zune 2 Photos!
