Microsoft Zune 2.0 Details Revealed Along with Two New Colors

Microsoft ready to take a second stab at Apple’s iPod. While Apple may be basking in the glow of its 100 millionth sold iPod, Microsoft is quickly working behind the scenes on its Zune portable media player. Microsoft has modest expectations from the player and is expecting for it to pass the one million shipped mark by June 2007.

For the time being, the first generation will soon get two new colors to add the existing White, Brown and Black. The first color is Baby Pink. Baby Pink will be a few shades lighter than the 100 special edition hot pink Zunes that were floating around shortly after launch. According to the Zune team, only 100,000 will be produced. A second new color, Watermelon Red, will be released sometime after Baby Pink.

Now for the really interesting information — Zune Scene editor ran into a Microsoft Zune engineer recently and was able to get the low-down on two upcoming Zune products.
