Zunescene.com unveiled some trustworthy information about the new series of Zune players from Microsoft. They aim to unveil their new models on October 16th and the most important new feature is the navigation thingy called the squircle (square/circle) that looks just like a cross between a square and a circle. I doubt that Apple will notice any significant decrease in sales of the iPod when the Zune 2 goes live. A transcript of the phone interview can be found here:
