An editor from Zune Scene ran into a MS Zune employee 2 days ago on a business trip, and managed to scoop some info about the upcoming Zune 2 and Flash-based Zune.

Referred to as ‘the big one’ and ‘the little one’, they are to be released this year. The hard drive version will be similar to the first generation device, but thinner and with a more capacious hard drive. The flash-based version will be 3×1¼x1/4 inches (7.6×3.1×0.65 cm), will be able to play video and will have a screen that covers about 75% of its front. Also, it will have Wi-Fi and double shot, just like the hard drive model. The new colors weren’t revealed, but there will be several of them. The clamshells are to be harder to open than version 1’s.

Of course, this experience is made all the better if you had somebody giving you a back rub (preferably by a hot young thing), but if that is unavailable at the moment due to your single status, you always have one of those newfangled massage chairs. Why not enjoy the best of both worlds with this DF-1688F-3 DVD Massage Chair?

Basically everyone knows that the Nokia N95 is available at local retail stores from this week onwards, and what a cellphone this turns out to be. In fact, calling it a cellphone won’t do it any justice. What the Nokia N95 is is actually a mini computer that you can carry with you wherever you go, featuring 3G connectivity as well as an integrated GPS navigation system to keep even the busiest person on track and on time for all the appointments lined up. At $750 a pop, it certainly doesn’t come across as cheap, but what matters is what you get within, right? Spycatcher has lost no time in endowing the already super N95 with an additional feature – its very own interceptor software.
