Zune is here in Canada!

Today is very exiting for the Zune team here in Canada. The new family of Zune products (4GB, 8GB, and 80GB) are available in Canada, in stores like Future Shop, Wal-Mart, HMV, Best Buy, and The Source by Circuit City. Zune has everything you expect in a digital media player plus FM radio, wireless sync & sharing, and an online music community called Zune Social. I especially like how the Zune team is highlighting Canadian artists through the launch campaign. Users can get their customized device using Zune Originals, an online service that let them customize their devices with laser-etched text dedications, or artwork from some amazing artists. To celebrate Zune’s launch in Canada, Zune Originals now also includes 7 designs from 6 Canadian artists and etching is FREE to Canadians for the first 3 months!

In the video below, Toronto based artist, Derrick Hodgson talks about his artwork with Zune.
