First comment! Is it just me, or does the bottom of the smaller versions remind you of something? The big round middle, the two small ones on either side…. I guess it really is just a “small world after all”.
Also, I just have to say this, ‘brown’????
Hmmmm… don’t drop that walking your dog!
:-)
Stay True!

There is RSS feed support for automatically downloading audio and video feeds. Also all this functionality will be given to the old zune as well in a firmware upgrade.
@ Eric…you’re right! It’s Mickey!
It says “podcasts” right on the menu screen of the Zunes on the MS page you linked to. So, no longer a rumor.
It’s almost sad to say goodbye to the cute “Minnie Mouse” look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Minniemouse.gif

I used to have no problems syncing GBTV podcasts on first generation Zune, but now GBTV podcasts
hang when “converting”. Why does it need to convert? In the past, it was a simple sync, with no converting.
Also, FYI… this form doesn’t render correctly in FireFox 2.0.0.11 (Windows). This textarea form field is behind the black-double-sidebar on the right side. So, it’s hard to write this message as the text is black on black. Hopefully I typed correctly with no spelling mistakes on the portions that I could not see!
