citronAlready people are digging into the new Zune Software trying to find exploits to take advantage of, as I'm sure quite a few zB members are busy doing right at this moment!  Already some people are finding the fruits of their labor.  Long Zheng at istartedsomething.com has found a new color embedded in the Zune Marketplace.  What could it be?  A new limited edition Zune?  Something Microsoft is going to release later?  Could this be a preview of something?  More after the break.....

citronIt's called the Citron Zune from it's citrus yellow complextion, no doubt (or maybe the vodka?).  It's unique in that it has a cool lemony hue, but with a black ZunePad and backing.  Almost lamborguini-esque - what could MS be hiding this for?

Well, before you make any plans, according to Paul Thurrott, it's a commemorative gift to every Microsoft Zune Team member. 

It's said to hold 16Gb of storage space and will not be available in stores.  But what I speculate is if it's already possible to put 16Gb in the flash Zune form, when will it be put in to production and sold to the public - with or without the citron color?

Interesting....

"Citron" actually translates to "Lemon" in French. Just a little fun fact.

I wish they offered that color for the 80gb model. [smiley=cool]

[color=#0000FF]There
's a shortage of them. Expect them to be in stores in considerable quantity near the end of this month or beginning of December. This is understandable since the Zune 80 had some production issues back in July. Hope that helps...[/color]

thanks for the answer. i called a local store and they said they had it but then i checked the site and it wasnt available. another location does say its available, but i wanted to make sure thats even possible. so there are some z80's out there, but not many?

Are we enjoying the software? Let's see ... it won't install on my PC and the original version is now deleted. I should have bought an iPod.

I went to Wal-Mart here in Ronkonkoma, NY yesterday and they only had 4 Black 4Gb Zunes. Today I went back and they added a single 80gig Zune. I made sure I picked it up. But yes store are getting very few at at time as they roll out. So it wont be like the the 30gig Zunes were they had stacks of them sitting around.
