Microsoft's first Zune-branded device will launch in the US just ahead of the Thanksgiving break, rumour-mongers are claiming on the web. Oh, and it's going to have a 60GB hard drive. Or maybe a 30GB job. Or maybe both, in different configurations. And there'll be different colours... And... And...

Top marks to Danish designer Klaus Silberbauer for putting the 'mock' in 'mock-up' with his reveletion of Zune's final design, posted today over at his blog (http://www.silberbauer.dk/2006/08/its-here-zune-prototype-disclosed.html?www.reghardware.co.uk). Sir, we salute you. And if Apple ever asks us who should succeed its industrial design guru, Jonathan Ive, we know who to suggest. ®
