UPDATE - Contest Closed Early. Thanks for all the entries.

OK, so I have to admit that I am disappointed that there is not a blue color choice for the Zune 120 or even the Zune 80. It is cool that they made a Zune 8 in blue, but I can't use an 8GB player so it does me no good. I would unbox it and all that good crap, but someone already has and... well, you've seen an 8gb Zune, so why bother eh?

Well, because of the fact that it does me no good, I am going to throw mine to one of you Mardi Gras style. Just post a comment here on this post and you are entered to win. Since these blue ones aren't "supposed" to be available for purchase yet, I will get this one out pretty quick. We'll make it a quick contest. Deadline will be September 12th at 3pm CST.

I currently own 7 Zunes and I have give away 10-12 across my sites, and now I have this one. This 8gb Blue Zune the 1st Zune that I didn't pay for. This one is the only one Microsoft has provided me and will probably be the last.

So, just leave a comment and cross your fingers on September 12th, 2008. Make sure your email address is reachable. The prize is only an unopened Blue 8gb Zune. No service is included.

Well, Fry's has done it again! And thanks to Harvey from  Zunerama for pointing  it out. This go around the leak is in the form of online orders, as they are taking orders for the Zune 8 blue and Zune 120 black. Now, not only have they just revealed pictures of the Zune 8 blue, but there is also some new and interesting information under the "Key Features and Benefits" section. From the looks of it, the zune team has added 3 new features. Read after the break for all the info!

Head over to Office Max to order...

edit: oops, title said 199.99. Hehe

The folks over at Zunited.net got there hands on some interesting info. It appears as though the zune software contains evidence of a Black-Backed Zune 80, and a black-backed red 4/8. On top of that, the 4/8 seems to have a black touch pad.  Could this be a developer exclusive like the citron zune? We can't be sure now, but no matter they are, they look great. Any thoughts?

Yes, you read right, the Zune is coming to Canada! Our lucky neighbors to the north will be getting the Zune 4/8/80 models. The 4 and 8 will be available in red, black, and pink. The 80 gets red and black. Prices range from $140 to $250. Canadians can download the Zune Software from Zune.ca.

There has been quite the absence of quality Zune 80 cases out there, but the flash Zunes ( Zune 4 and Zune 8 ) have had quite a few releases. Anyhow, I was quite excited to hear that Incipio was finally throwing down some Zune 80 cases. I have 3 Zune 80 and 3 Flash Zune cases to look at and I have recorded a couple videos to show them all to you!

Here are the cases I am taking a look at today:

• Butter Creme ORION Sleeve Case for Zune 4GB 8GB
• theDUKE Raw Leather Wallet Case for Microsoft Zune 4GB 8GB
• White Leather Flip Case for Microsoft Zune 4GB 8GB
• Black Leather Kickstand Case for Microsoft Zune 80GB
• Brown Leather Flip Case for Microsoft Zune 80GB
• VERTIGO Black Leather Holster Case for Microsoft Zune 80GB

Read on to check the videos out!

As you all know by now, Zune is going to be making its way to Canada in the near future. However, it was pointed out by Zunited.net that the 4/8 green model appears to be missing. On the "Meet Zune" page of Zune.net/en-CA (which is Zune journey) their is no evidence that the Zune 4/8 green Zune even exists, in the description of the 4/8 model's it states,

Proof that petite can still be powerful. Comes with video playback, a built-in FM tuner, innovative touch controls and wireless sharing capability*. Available in pink, red, and black.

Could it be possible Microsoft is removing it for the Canadian release, or could they have simply not added it in yet? The image above shows the "Meet Zune" page, maybe that gap is left for the green to fill.

The second generation Microsoft Zune media player is that company's answer to the various iPods Apple has put on the market with at least video and MP3 capability. As a general purpose media player, the Zune is more than serviceable. It is not spectacular, but the Zune does just what you expect -- play music and videos, display pictures, and manage your media library. But the question remains -- what the heck is inside. In this TechRepublic Cracking Open Photo Gallery we examine what is actually in a Microsoft Zune.
