Microsoft has finally unveiled the launch date and price for its upcoming Zune portable media player. The Zune will hit stores on November 14, and despite rumors of a $229.99 price tag, the device will cost $249.99 at launch. That price is $0.99 above that of the new 30GB iPod, but the Zune will have the advantage of a bigger screen (3.0" vs. 2.5",) built-in wireless connectivity, the ability to share songs with other Zune owners, and preloaded content. In total, the Zune will come preloaded with nine songs from lesser-known bands, 12 music videos, three film shorts, and "a variety of images."
