Microsoft adds 2 new models to their Zune family of MP3 players. The new Zune 120 GB player sells for $249.99, and the 16 GB model for $199.00.
Also MSFT has tweaked the device’s software to allow users to download songs from wireless hot spots, buy music heard on FM radio stations, as well as a music recommendation service, with a few new games thrown in.
Sounds like a step in the right direction and should help Zune move up from its 4% market share, although some grumps are unimpressed, see here: Zune Gets New Features That Won’t Help Sell Zunes.

there are always grumps who are unimpressed. what would we do without them?
Actually, I’m happy to have grumps writing tech reviews. That way, when they rave about something, you know it’s really worth it.
