Another special edition of the Microsoft Zune will be released on the 10th of June. If you’re looking for a change from the standard black, white, and brown colors, but the pink wasn’t really your style, then maybe the upcoming "watermelon red" is for you. The player will be available exclusively from Amazon and Target.

A bright new color will certainly draw some attention their way, but that’s all that Microsoft brings to the limited edition Zune. At this occasion, enhancing the player by providing a higher capacity or including extra features might show more of Microsoft’s interest in being a large part of the hard disk market.

It looks very nice....too bad Microsoft doesn't want to release them in Canada....I'd buy a Zune.

Uh, the Zune is in Canada mike. My friend over there has one, and I know a few others that do as well.

Uh...no its not....your friend most likely imported one...cause they don't sell them here. Check any Canadian electronics stores and sites... www.bestbuy.ca, www.futureshop.ca, www.tigerdirect.ca....the Zune marketplace hasn't even been established in Canada yet...so I don't know what your saying.

    The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.

  • Toshiba Gigabeat T400

    The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

    JAYS q-JAYS

    The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
