I get a lot of emails asking when the Zune 2 will be announced/released. Now let me start this by saying I’m an expert on making predictions. I can do it all day long. So here is my official prediction about when the Zune 2 will be released:
The Zune 2 will be released on October 16th.



I say November like the hidden Surface said.
Surface site*
Take that Zunescene
November is WAYYYY to late for holiday sales. EVERY store will have spent their whole budget and already have ads placed for the season.
Ok, if it is going to be released on the 16th, when will it be announced? It will take awhile to get to the stores…
If it gets released on the 16th, no one will notice it because everyone (myself included) will be spending all of their money on multiple copies of Transformers.
I tihnk it will probably be announced by the end of this month.
No way. They will announce it tomorrow. That way all the Apple fanboys will see that their silly new iPods are lame. Touch iPod? Id rather not thanks
I totally agree with Charles today will be the day!! I expect a 4″ touch screen, wifi with browser and online store, wireless sync, bluetooth earphones, 80 gig baseline storage (up to 160 gig,) and internet radio. I also expect it to be tied more to the Xbox.
It will be announced today, I’m sure of it, and everybody will quickly forget about the lame 16 gig iPod touch.
In fact, October 16th seems kind of like a plausible date. I wonder if this web site is sitting on some inside information??
lol. I like the prediction. Now all we need is for everyone to promote this date and they will be forced to release it on that day. Could be a bad thing though
Charles yesterday is here, its 8:17 here in Cali. Nothing yet =/
lol. I like your prediction. Doesnt seem too early or later. Seems like it could be true. Are you on to something? are you part of the team?
Hey Stefan have you heard of the Zune V2 accessory list leak yet?
I think it will be this friday, Zune’s first birthday.
I have put up a birthday card on my blog. www.zunetoday.com
What are you talkin’ about?
Heads up Stefan, Marketplace might be getting a huge change in a few hours.

Ha! Stefan, CrunchGear took your post seriously:

Guess they don’t know your sense of humor yet.
I think it’s brilliant that you posted a comical prediction of the Zune announcement date and now everyone thinks it’s true. Search Zune Oct 16 in Google.
So THIS is how rumors get started!
P.S. I also heard free Zunes were going to be given to Iraqi insurgents to pacify them and stop them from fighting US soldiers. Pass it on!
I guess no one got the joke. LOL
Zunes will be released on Christmas. Be excited.
