It looks like the second generation Zune is making its appearance at some Target and Circuit City stores around the country. Of course - this is earlier than the planned release of the new Zunes which is scheduled for November 13th (next Tuesday). I don’t really think Microsoft would mind if the new units made it out to the wild a bit early - the mere fact that people might be interested in the new models would actually be a good sign.

I was curious to see if the local Target and Circuit City store had the new Zunes on display and in stock so I took a trip during lunch time to see if they had them. Unfortunately, I did not see any of the new second generation Zunes on display - however, I did see the new display stands showing off the new units - at least pictorially. I grilled some of the sales folks there and they claimed that the units hadn’t even arrived at the stores yet.. we shall see.
