according to TechCrunch, Microsoft announced Zune, their new take on digital music, media & entertainment, earlier today. while the official Billboard-article is currently offline and microsoft.com doesn’t lose any words on it yet, there are two microsofties from the Zune-team blogging about the project: Cesar Mendendez on ZuneInsider.com and Richard Winn on his Madison & Pine blog. the official product-site is located at comingzune.com.
