Zune 2 Gets Official: Sings a New Tune
Microsoft has officialized the feature set of the new Zune 2 with the added bonus of giving Zune 1 owners a free upgrade to the new Zune OS.
Some new features of the new Zune OS is:
- Wireless sync. Cut the cord to your PC. Refresh your Zune with new content anywhere you charge your device. Connect to your PC through your home wireless network by setting your Zune to automatically sync the latest podcasts, music and more.
- Updated Zune Marketplace. Over 3 million songs, albums, and DRM-free MP3s
- Recorded television content to go. The Zune software will now automatically import broadcast content recorded on Windows® Media Center
- Zune software will automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos, including music you have ripped into iTunes and Windows Media® Player, even transferring your existing playlists and song ratings in one easy step.
Looks like Zune certainly learned a lesson over the last painful year of sale. Hopefully Apple will get the clue and offer wireless syncing on the iPhone and iPod touch.
