"The new Zune models will feature the new Zune Pad, an innovative touch-sensitive button for navigating on the device, and a wireless sync feature that allows Zune devices to automatically sync over the device owner’s home wireless network when connected to an AC adaptor, dock or speaker dock accessory. Existing Zune owners will automatically receive all new software features, the redesigned PC and device software and access to the new Zune Marketplace when everything is released to the public in mid-November."
"Launching first in beta, Zune Social, a beta online community Web site, gives people a place to share their music tastes, knowledge and experiences with others. Anyone can create a free, customizable Zune Card that automatically updates to reflect the music they are listening to on their Zune or with Zune software on their computer. Other members of Zune Social can play samples of the songs a user has been playing directly from a friend’s Zune Card or link to Zune Marketplace, where they can buy or download the music."
