Microsoft continues to tease with Zune media player revelations

Microsoft continues to tease, revealing more details about its Zune portable media player, an iPod rival being launched in the USA for Christmas. It's also confirmed that there will be an accompanying online store - the Zune Marketplace - to challenge Apple's iTunes store.
The company gave no clues about pricing but, according to ABC news, a mistake by Wal-Mart's web site (which we reckon could just be another well-orchestrated leak) shows that the first Zune might sell for US$284.
Key features of the first Zune are its 30GB hard disk, built in wireless capability (for Zune-to-Zune file-sharing), integral FM radio and "bright" 3in screen - suitable for video as well as stills. The player will come in three colors. Black and white are offered, of course, but so also, rather unusually, is brown.
