We've covered a lot of the rumours about the new Microsoft Zunes in the works so far, but now word has reached us via Zune Scene that the new flash Zune finally has a name - Draco. The odds of Bill Gates being a closet Harry Potter fan are very slim, so there's probably another meaning behind the rather-sinister sounding name. Any guesses? Available in two sizes as we reported earlier, the 4GB and 8GB models should be available late this year and hopefully contain video playback and Wi-Fi.

Cursemaster0   | 72.203.155.xxx | 2007-06-19 19:57:57 Nice. i can go to my friend and say "Hey you seen that new Draco Zune" "Hey you seen that new Zune Draco" Which sounds better? Reply | Quote 0   0

lpxxfaintxx - lol   | 68.199.37.xxx | 2007-06-19 20:04:50 Haha, "Draco" is just the codename (thank god!). The marketing name will most likely be much better. Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User - King   | 70.134.81.xxx | 2007-06-19 21:08:24 Draco is a name that commonly means evil or sinister. Draco Malfoy, Sir Francis Drake. Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 71.122.149.xxx | 2007-06-19 21:34:30 If the new Zune actually looked like that, I bet that Microsoft would draw a big crowd. However, the finish on that pic is like the finish on the old iPod nano and the current iPod, so it would scratch very easily and soon look very bad. I definitely hope that the name of the thing changes too. Reply | Quote 0   0

DrummerLR   | 24.159.207.xxx | 2007-06-19 21:55:55 Yea, i definatly hope the name changes. And you have a good point with the scratching. Hopefully they keep the same casing as they do now. Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User - gueeest   | 190.44.229.xxx | 2007-06-19 22:36:29 the picture of the "draco" is great!! i love the IDEA of that new zune (but is a fake) Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User - Ewwww!     | 68.193.15.xxx | 2007-06-19 22:58:18 Sry i think thats really UGLY! i hated the ipod nano and i hate the ''Draco" if thats its real name. i like the old zune better, it was much kewler. Whoever wants it DONT GET IT!!!! Reply | Quote 0   0

ChaoFan - Bleh     | 71.210.29.xxx | 2007-06-20 15:43:16 I think the thing looks ugly compared to the first Zune. The thing is disproportionate and the circle button just *sinks* into the body. Also, why would the person who mocked that up not only call it 'Micro Zune', but proceed to put the windows logo on it? It just doesn't add up. Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 24.79.130.xxx | 2007-06-20 17:59:07 I think that if the zune micro looked like that it would be sweet, and i would for sure go out and buy it, evem though i have the original zune.....but knowing microsoft it won't look that sleek. Reply | Quote 0   0

joe mader     | 67.142.130.xxx | 2007-06-20 20:18:43 that doesn't fit Zune...ipods all shiny like that....Zune keeps it real w/ their almost flat colors, more of a powder than a liquid...i hope they keep that true w/ the 'micro' and the 2.0 Reply | Quote 0   0

Madgod     | 74.69.239.xxx | 2007-06-21 06:08:11 This is so retarded. Im so mad right now, I cant beleive that microsoft would come out with a micro zune when I just got a zune for christmas.. I'd much rather have this. Even though its not the real thing it'll be similar. Microsoft is stupid for coming out with a micro zune when they jsut came out with a zune... Reply | Quote 0   0

Aiellenon   | 24.211.85.xxx | 2007-06-21 11:43:43 I don't see why Microsoft would want to create a 4gig or 8gig device that plays video. what would be the point? and with an oddball screen size like the mock up image has you coul not watch anything usefull on it anyways. I like the 80gig with a web browser idea much better. Reply | Quote 0   0

Arloyola   | 209.192.1.xxx | 2007-06-22 09:28:39 Draco means dragon. So this lil dragon would try to defeat the Sandisk Sansa? Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 64.237.167.xxx | 2007-06-26 01:58:11 I like how it looks, however, 8 gigs suck. i like my 30 gig model better Reply | Quote 0   0

Huntor   | 68.95.21.xxx | 2007-07-01 06:58:51 If it were real, that would look awsome. but yeh that would suck if it were like the nano or any ipod because it would be scratched up badly Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 70.23.136.xxx | 2007-07-01 20:01:07 keep living in your caves, you flintstones... apple will introduce a revolutionary product, and you'll just be here bragging about your 80gig zunes. bunch of nazis. Reply | Quote 0   0

Ipod sucks!!!   | 24.150.95.xxx | 2007-07-02 22:16:50 [color=#000080]Hey Apple fan-boy, how about you stay out of where your not welcome? This is a ZUNE message board, not one for your Apple ipod piece of crap. If you want to bash the zune, at least go do it with your doped up, apple fan-boy friends. We didn't ask your opinion and we really don't give a damn about what you have to say. Now on to a real message. I think the Draco would be a great name for the flash zune, either code name of official name, and I would definitely buy the 8GB version. I just hope Microsoft sticks with the flat calm tones of the original Zune instead of going the apple route and having it be really shiny and bright, like it was painted by a retarded 3 year old.[/color] Reply | Quote 0   0

J03Z   | 66.146.156.xxx | 2007-07-12 19:38:40 dat zune is pretty good looking. although instead of switching to d shiny look for the body (like d ipod..) they couldve stuck with the matte finish - gives it a istinctive look and feel. although a 80gb zune with net is a better idea - tho with the zunes current size, they should make it 100gb Reply | Quote 0   0
