Although the Zune 2 is not available in NZ, I've managed to score one of these devices. According to UPS it's already landed in NZ and hopefully being sent to me shortly. I previous had an opportunity to get the original Zune but it really didn't tickle my fancy. The Zune 2 looks good, finally comes in black, is small and has a whole host of features that make it worthwhile. It's interesting to note that's it's receiving a lot of positive press for being a real iPOD contender. I'll post more once I've played with it. Otherwise, here are some interesting links on the Zune 2 I've been reading in my lunch hour:
