Well someone mailed me a few days back asking when the release will be for zune in Australia. I didn’t have an answer that time, but I do now.

As per smarthousenews.com.au, a highly successful technology trade only website claims that Steve Vamos, Director of Microsoft Australia has confirmed that zune will be launched in Australia in the New Year.

Even Belkin will get underway its zune accessories with the launch. Guess this decision is a bit of surprise as everyone expected zune to launch in Canada next.

FeedYourZune.com is offering a new downloadable RSS reader/media player that lets you browse hundreds of audio and video podcasts (or as I like to call them, Zunecasts). The software is free to download and weighs in at only 12mb’s.

FeedYourZune will automatically download the latest Zunecasts and sync them to your connected Zune. It also manages disc space and and lets you create favorites and playlists of the Zunecasts you subscribe to. And it has an interface that is sleek and user friendly.

Let’s see as per cliczune.com, zune is being sold in Canada by TigerDirect.ca. The offer is only available when buying online. The site even claims that the black zune is comparatively cheaper to white and brown zune.

Now I needed to see it myself, as you all know it’s not officially launched in Canada yet. I went to the site checked the mp3 players section, couldn’t find it. Surprisingly when I searched the site for keyword zune, nope still couldn’t find it.

A lot of questions and rumors are going around regarding zune. So, I’ll put together a post where most general or frequently asked questions are put to rest. The list will be updated over time when I find answers to more of them.

Here you will find links to some cool videos posted by other members on youtube of the zune community.
