I want one today – Zune walkthrough video (and RDS in Australia)

October 9th, 2006

Just watching a great video walkthrough on on10.net of the new Zune Digital Media Player from Microsoft.  It is now definitely #1 on my Christmas list.

One thing they mentioned in the walkthrough is that the radio function in the Zune supports RDS (Radio Data System).  Basically if the broadcaster supports it, you can see the song and artist currently playing, and some special announcements from the radio station.  Cool stuff.  To see if your local radio station in Australia broadcasts RDS, check out this great site which explains it all.

No word on when it will be available in Australia… my heart is saying before Christmas, but my head is saying probably February/March
