I really, really like the exposed screws on the back of the case.

I really, really want one of these, but the fact that there's STILL no support for AVI or MKV on the Zune is probably going to keep me from buying one.

What's the catch on these things again? Other than the lack of AVI/MKV support... :shrug:

Hey Microsoft: If you call it 'market' instead of 'marketplace' then its name would fit on the screen.(The main screen!)

I think I might buy one of these puppies, but you get a lot more color options if you do not preorder and wait for release.

I read somewhere that it has built-in streaming from UPNP sources, that would be total hotness

@DUFFONG-a big "catch" for some may be the windows only hang up.. i have owned 3 different zune models, and they have all been great. i like the zune desktop software too. but, windows only. which makes since from a MS point of view i guess. the lack of expanded video support is pretty damned annoying too though.

Why didn't they simply name it the "Us2"?
