The email I sent out to everybody on the Zune team today: From: Cesar Menendez Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 2:53 PM To: Zune Team Subject: zune cake Today we (the Zune team) received a cake from a member of the Zune community – Stefan at I Want a Pink Zune dot com . Stefan ordered the cake from Mike’s amazing cakes : The caption reads: From all the Zune fans and I want a PINK Zune dot com, keep up the great work. We are eagerly awaiting the next Zune If you want to have a look at it – it’s downstairs...

We just got a shipment of Pink Zune players, and I got my hands on one: (I'll open my eyes wider next time ;) And check this picture of my employee-launch-gift Magenta Zune side by side with the Pink Zune: (both are playing The Editors, but different songs) And finally, by request , I'm posting the backgrounds on the Zune players I posted before I went for vacation. Go here for larger images. I actually requested more than one Pink Zune. And they're not for me; they're for you. In the next few days...

It's true - we have a pink Zune hitting retail stores starting in May. They'll be sold in the same retail channels where Zune is sold. Here's a new photo that one of the designers just sent over: It's interesting: it seems like technology design is mirroring fashion. We're looking at trends in the coming fashion seasons as we develop new colors. < Edit 2:57 PM> - added the group shot.

Each person who worked on Zune (including me) got a special edition ship gift. I took mine and my friend Mary Anne's (what's up Mary Anne), and made a little video. Have a looksie: Enjoy!
