For the moment, the Zune 80 comes only in black. The first-generation Zune 30 is available (while supplies last) in red, brown, pink, white, and black. The smaller, lighter, flash-based Zune 4 and Zune 8 are being offered in green, black, pink, and red. Microsoft is also offering custom artwork etching for direct orders of the Zune 4, 8, and 80, through its ZuneOriginals Web site.

| Review summary | The Zune has blossomed from an ugly duckling into a worthy iPod alternative. | The 4GB and 8GB capacity Zunes (Zune 4 and Zune 8) offer a bite-size version of their full-size, 80GB sibling. While the full-size Zune is a better value, the solid-state flash memory used in the 4GB and 8GB versions make them better suited for physically active (or clumsy) users. | The 4GB and 8GB capacity Zunes (Zune 4 and Zune 8) offer a bite-size version of their full-size, 80GB sibling.
