Zune Coming down under (Australia)

Well looks like those rumors of Zune not coming out to the international market till late 07 are half being put to rest. SmartHouse.com.au are reporting that the Microsoft Zune will be launching in Australian market in the New Year which was said by the Managing Director of Microsoft Australia, Steve Vamos. This, like the US launch will be followed with range of Belkin accessories for the media player, these include TuneBase FM transmitter, TunePower, Acrylic case, holster case, neoprene sports armband case, sports jacket case and clear screen overlays to protect the LCD. Although this is not a confirmed date, “..in the new year” usually means the first quarter, fingers crossed, specially for me, who lives in Aus :)

Update: Cesar, a Microsoft Zune employee had this to say on the matter

The Australian team is saying it’s a misquote.

A bit of a shame there…
