New Zunes: Hey! Not so bad!

Microsoft is launching new Zunes in November with some cool new features:

• 80GB (hard disk), 8 and 4GB (flash) with new design in black, pink, green, black, and red
• All Zunes (including the old ones) will have a new, redesigned interface and feature parity.
• Additional native video codecs for h.264 and MPEG-4 — users no longer need transcode those file types to WMV
• Video sync with Media Center
• WiFi sync
• The Zune music store is going DRM-free

It took Microsoft almost a year to redo something that was born crooked, but I think they are going in the right direction now, almost everything that was bad about the Zune was reviewed, so they must be listening.
