expansysYup, the Zune 80 is now available in Canada!  This strengthens the case that Microsoft is planning a launch for our northern neighbors very soon!  Canada's version of Expansys has got them in stock and ready to ship for 269.95 Canadian dollars!

And there's a reason why the Zune has received such positive reviews , and is a surprise this holiday season!  Even the iFans have acknowledged it ! The Zune 80 bridges the gap between the iPod Touch and iPod Classic.  Apple, in it's infinite wisdom, decided to incorporate the revolutionary design of the iPhone into its iPod line, but inadvertantly created a huge rift in iPod choices.  Would you choose the innovative design of the iPod Touch with its touch interface, limited internet access, and large 3.5" screen but sacrifice storage space in only 8Gb or 16Gb sizes?  OR would you choose the memory rich 80Gb or 160Gb iPod Classic, but sacrifice the larger screen for a tiny 2.5" version, and, "who wants something called "classic" as a gift?"  Asks Rob Enderle of TechNewsWorld .  This leaves consumers with a hard decision that has been solved with the introduction of the Zune 80.  The newest Zune has a large 3.2" screen AND large memory capacity as well as features not found on any iPod.  This has led the Zune 80 to receive the PCmag Editor's Choice (see the video !).  Take a look at the side by side comparison of the Zune 80 and 80Gb iPod Classic.

While the shortage of them is explained by Microsoft as  an unexpected shortage (implying there's high demand for them) we have our own ideas ...

zuneskinsAnd decalgirl.com and tunetattooz.com are both offering some killer Zune skins!  Check them out!  zune80skins

[color=#0000FF]No "The new Zune™ 4GB & 8GB models are a great update to Microsoft's popular music player. Just as things have improved with the new device, so have the DecalGirl skins available for it!
Personalize your Zune with a DecalGirl skin that covers both the front and back of the device; as always our Zune skins are washable, easily removed (no goo or residue), plus they'll never fade, smudge or smear!
Each comes with a code to download a free matching wallpaper, for a virtually seamless look on the front of the device (as shown). Want to create your own? Templates coming soon! "[/color]
