New Zune update with lots more features

Microsoft has released an announcement on the upcoming Zunes with a lot of new software features, and some hardware upgrades as well. They are still about the same shape and size, but now there's a 16GB flash model and a 120GB hard drive model.
What changes have taken place? Well, there's the two new games on it, but not much that's unrelated to music.
Now, there are a lot more new features that let users get more music and listen to music via channels. These new channels are regularly updated and could be provided by radio stations, microsoft, or even your Zune.
Along with the ability to buy songs using a Wi-fi connections, you can also subscribe to Microsoft's Zune pass which costs $15 a month to be able to stream music on the web. Unfortunately, there is still no browser in Zune, and the Wi-Fi features don't work with Wi-Fi connections that use a browser interrupter.

And then there's the new feature that lets users buy music from FM stations. Upon release, there will be over 450 stations available so that's a lot of choice. Big names like Clear Channel, Citadel and CBS will be providing their services and then you can mark down a song for later purchase with the Buy from FM feature.

It seems that Microsoft will have 1 day of being in the Spotlight before the Apple event starts, with the expected iPod updates and such. Some might say that the Zunes are more advanced in terms of music related features, but the Zunes simply don't have enough features for people who'd like to use it for some other things as well.
