If you watch Adult Swim regularly, you may have noticed a new Zune commercial. The Zune team went a little more of the artsy way with this commercial. Instead of actually showing the Zune, or what it does, they showed a cool little video with the brand name "Zune" at the end. Why not though? That is how Apple advertises the iPod isn't it? Check out the kick-ass new commercial below.

You can also find this video at the Zune-Arts.net website.

ILikeMyZune.net is now open. This is a new website by the Zune team opened on July 05. You can check up on some details about The Zune's LiveNation partnership on the website. This website will keep you busy during the summer with information on tour dates, locations, artists, and more. That is not all you have to look forward to though! The Zune is hosting some BBQ's in L.A., Chicago, and NYC. There will be plenty of hip-hop singers at these events, and best of all, it is free (except for the food). How cool is that?

The registration for the L.A. BBQ is currently up, so go sign up. You may also be able to stumble across Cesar who is heading down to L.A. to see the show. Even if you don't bump into him, drop him a comment and you can meet up with him.

This is promising to be quite the Zune partying summer!

Oh yes, and we have a birthday to celebrate. Zunerma.com recently turned 1 year old! Their throwing a party on their website. Their giving away tons and tons of Zune accessories. Go check out their giveaway section of the forums to get in on some of the giveaways. You may even win a Zune!

Some ZuneScene.com editors where stirring up trouble at the Phoenix iPhone launch. They played around with the phone and took joy in changing many of the phone's homepages to Zunescene.com. (Picture from Zunescene.com)

I have also gathered up some rumors about two new Zunes coming sooner or later. One hard drive based unit, and another, a flash based unit. Sources say their codename's will be Scorpio for the hard drive Zune, and Draco for the flash drive Zune. Draco is rumored to hold 4GB or 8GB of flash memory, while Scorpio will hold 80GB. No news on larger storage devices with 100GB or 120GB.

The good news is that production is rumored to start at the end of July. No news on the release date of the device has leaked yet, but I would assume the 2007 holiday season would be the ideal time to sell. Although if Apple jumped out and announced a new iPod, Microsoft might want to release the Zune before hand.

And finally, just for laughs, I have to post this picture from Zunescene.com up. Hilarious...
