Zune 80GB for $249, Zune 4GB for $149 and 8GB will be available for $199 in mid-November.
Via X-bit Labs: "Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday unveiled two new Zune digital media players along with updates to its Zune-related services. Starting from mid-November consumers will not only be able to get sleeker or more capacious Zune devices, but will also get new functionality for existing Zune 30GB. Microsoft announced three new models of Zune portable digital media players: black Zune 80GB hard disk drive-based model, which has a 3.2” screen and comes with premium headphones as well as  ultra-portable Zune 4GB and Zune 8GB flash-based models, both available in pink, green, black and glossy red. The new Zune players will have the same functionality as the first 30GB model, including Wi-Fi support, FM radio, music sharing and so on and will add more with forthcoming software updates. More precise technical specs were not disclosed.

The two new models of Microsoft Zune portable media players feature the new Zune Pad, an innovative touch-sensitive button for navigating on the device, as well as wireless sync, a feature that allows Zune devices to automatically sync over the device owner’s home wireless network when it is connected to an AC adaptor, in a dock or speaker dock accessory. Existing Zune 30GB owners will automatically receive new software features, the redesigned PC and device software and access to the new Zune Marketplace when everything is released to the public in mid-November."
