If the Zune ever makes it on to a TV commercial, this definitely has to be the ad. This promotional video for the 2nd-generation Zune is one of the preloaded videos that comes with the new 4/8GB or 80GB Zunes, which explains why it is in portrait aspect ratio. Simply said, it is a very cool stylized animation that not only looks cool but also shows off all of the Zune’s features in an artistic manner.

I seriously hope they start selling Zunes in Europe… I thought the first Zune was mediocre but i really want one of these second generation ones.
yeh me too – thats a player i’d buy over an ipod anytime.
Hope they came to South America too! It looks very very nice…
wicked good job on all the Zune 2 coverage
Nice coverage on the Zune. It even rivals the coverage by the Zune Scenes of the web.
I think this is also a screensaver (at least it was in one of the videos on Zune Thoughts I saw)
Definetely a cool video…can’t wait for my Zune Original 8 GB to come in a few days
Flash vid doesn’t play here. I have the latest flash installed. Even confirmed at adobes site.
That’s fantastic. They definitely should make it into a TV ad.
Is it possible to read about anything OTHER THAN zune on your page nowadays ?
I’m sick of it. It’s a media player, get over it. It’s not THAT exciting.
I miss your page like the old times… before zune time I mean.
Keep up the good work, I sometimes like the design aspect of Microsoft. Dont stop covering it, even if it is just Zune…
In Ukraine too. We want such device
they definitely need this as an ad on tv. communicates capabilities perfectly.
How can I embed this video on my blog?
Thanks
That’s a great video that could be used in a TV ad!
