there is a little hack thats been out for nearly as long as the zune and i cant say it works, because of course i haven´t tried it... but in case you want to give it a shot:

That's great news! I can't say that I like the new styling, but the firmware improvements alone more than make up for that. The big question I still have is can I use it as a portable hard drive, or is Microsoft still determined to keep the memory locked?

well last year the word was that the zune would be tested for one year before the decision would be made to go international with it or not, so i as a non intern would say "soon", but even if not you can still buy one if you know how, because it charges with an usb cable so no need for any special plug converters or anything. i bought mine 11 month ago online on an internet auction website...

There are many much needed improvements here. And I'm very happy about the improved Media Center support as well. The Zune team obviously spent much of this year working on new hardware and rewriting software. With that behind them, I imagine next year we will see more advancement of the the software/firmware . With any luck they'll get back to a regular update schedule thats on par with XBox...Spring/Fall updates.

Any ideas when these may or may not be rolled out across Europe - or more specifically the UK?

Great job Zune team!

Concerning the switch to a glass screen, I wonder if there will be a slight hit to durability. I know no one plans on dropping devices such as these, and I'd still buy one without hesitation, but the glass screen evokes images of the cracked screens on devices from at least one of your competitors.

If possible, could Laura ask about this, and/or could someone on the Zune team address it?
