<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">From <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/microsofts-new-zunes-officially-in-80-8-and-4gb-sizes/" target="_blank">Engadget:</a></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Hard drive Zunes</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s called the Zune 80 and, shockingly enough, it has 80GB of storage.</li>
<li>Uses the new Zune Pad &#8212; four way touch-sensitive d-pad (with up, down, left, and right buttons).</li>
<li>It will sell for $250 (with &#8220;premium&#8221; headphones).</li>
<li>Available only in black (to start).</li>
<li>Screen size has increased to 3.2-inches (from 3-inches). As far as we know the resolution is still QVGA.</li>
<li>Dimensions are 61.1 x 108.2 x 12.9mm (2.4 x 4.25 x 0.5-inches), some 1/3rd smaller than the classic Zune.</li>
<li>The classic Zune will now be known as the Zune 30 &#8212; it&#8217;s not going anywhere. More on that in a sec.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>New flash Zunes</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Zune 8 and Zune 4 are the names for the 8 and 4GB flash based models.</li>
<li>Also uses the Zune Pad.</li>
<li>These will sell for $200 and $150 respectively.</li>
<li>Both will be available in pink, green, black, and red.</li>
<li>It will feature a 1.8-inch screen (compare to the nano&#8217;s 2-inch screen).</li>
<li>Dimensions are 41.4 x 91.5 x 8.5mm (1.6 x 3.6 x 0.33-inches) &#8212; compare to the new iPod nano, at 69.8 x 52.3 x 6.5mm (2.75 x 2.0 x 0.26-inches).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Everything else</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>New Zunes ship in November, date not yet announced.</li>
<li>All Zunes (including the Zune 30) will have a new, redesigned interface and feature parity. In other words, <strong>early Zune 30 adopters will have all the same software features</strong> as new Zune 80, 8, and 4 users.</li>
<li>Additional native video codecs for h.264 and MPEG-4 &#8212; users no longer need transcode those file types to WMV.</li>
<li>Zune can FINALLY sync video from your Media Center PC! Jeez, took you friggin long enough, guys!</li>
<li>WiFi sync to host computer! Includes moving over music, movies, photos, podcasts, etc.</li>
<li>Podcast support! (Sorry, no over the air downloads &#8212; sync only.) Podcasts can also be shared via WiFi.</li>
<li>The 3&#215;3 song sharing DRM has had its three day restriction removed, but users can still only play files three times.</li>
<li>There is still NO wireless music store.</li>
<li>The Zune software is all new and rewritten, and is supposed to actually be more than a rebadge of WMP10 now. Friggin finally.</li>
<li>The Zune music store is going DRM-free, with over 1m MP3 tracks being made available for download. Other details (like which labels, whether there is a DRM-free upgrade path is for users who&#8217;ve bought music with DRM, price differences, etc.) are not yet revealed.</li>
