Just in time for Valentine's day, Microsoft has released the
80 GB Red Zune which is customizable with a new collection of artwork. The wireless digital media player competes with the iPod. The themes for the new version of the Zune are "love and sharing" which is certainly appropriate for Valentine's Day.
The company is offering an exclusive collection of 20 new laser-engraved designs for a limited time (through February 14th).
Buyers can also
purchase special Valentine's Day playlists that can be shared Zune to Zune or via the Zune Social online music community.
"Zune gives consumers a dynamic canvas that is brought to life by the music, pictures, videos and podcasts they fill it with," said Scott Erickson, senior director of product management for Zune at Microsoft. "Zune Originals makes it easy to design a customized player, while wireless sharing and the Zune Social online music community give people new ways to connect."
The new Valentine's Day series features artwork from four new artist collectives -- Colorblok, Friends With You, PSYOP and Studio Play Pretend. With each new graphic, a buyer can also add up to three lines of text for a personal message. If you don't choose a graphic, you get five lines of text. Microsoft is offering gift wrap and free shipping.
Some of the Valentine's Day playlists include "Hip Hop Valentine," "80s Love," "Broken Love," and "Talk to Me, Barry": love jams from Barry White featuring spoken introductions.
It's a cute idea for a Valentine's Day gift.
