Set to be released on November 13, the new 2nd generation Zunes (Zune 2) will have many new features. They are going to have remote live TV recording, podcasts, a new GUI(graphical user interface), wireless syncing, and a lot more.
Well normal one would expect Microsoft to not care about their old devices since they now have this new one, and they all ready have the old buyers money. You would expect them to do something a lot like apple did with the Iphone and the Ipod touch. “The iPod Touch is running the same OS as the iPhone, but it’s artificially gimped. There’s no email. There’s no weather or stocks. No notes. No adding events to the Calendar. When old hardware can’t support new features, that’s not anyone’s fault. But all this stuff that’s right there in the software and costs nothing for Apple to put in, and they leave it out to artificially differentiate the product line.” However unlike Apple, Microsoft is not only giving “the old 30GB getting the new Wi-Fi syncing, it’s getting the updated sharing features, the new codecs, the podcasts, and the new Windows Media Center TV on the go. It’s essentially the new Zune, except thicker and with less storage space…which makes us ask why Microsoft would be so generous as to kill half the reasons why you’d ever upgrade to a new Zune.”
