Hey, it’s available, I didn’t notice it was posted at Gizmodo, ar!! I’m late for this. The next generation Zune has just been announced. The 80GB hard drive model is available for $249 while the 4GB and 8GB flash-based models are priced at $149 and $199 respectively. It can be sync to your computer via home wireless networks and the Zune Pad is touch-sensitive just like the iPod clickwheel.

Zune Marketplace (music store) now has more music videos but no movies. There are over three million songs in total.

The 80GB Zune is larger than the flash-based models, comes with 3.2-inch screen and available only in black. But this 80GB is still smaller and thinner than the original Zune.
