Rumored final Price for Zune $229.99

From Gizmodo:

One of our moles on the inside told us Microsoft just had a meeting to determine the price of the 30GB Zune. The final tally: $229.99. Microsoft was going to go $289.99 to undercut the iPod by $10, but since Apple dropped the bombshell that they were lowering prices to $249, Microsoft had to scramble to undercut the lower price as well.

Tsk tsk.  If the Zune comes out at $229, I will be very pleasantly surprised.  I'm crossing my fingers on this one!
