Watermelon Zune spotted in the wild

The often-rumored watermelon Zune is real, according to a pair of photos snapped at a recent press event by photographer and designer Mark Hunter. Much like the pink model, the watermelon version has silver trim and a clear double-shot plastic casing. No changes in features have been referenced in the leak, pointing to the player as another special edition that will mark the end of the 30GB original player before new models appear in the fall.

Previous sources have indicated that the watermelon edition will be made available to the public in the near future, potentially arriving in time for the beginning of the summer which forms its inspiration. Pricing will likely reach the same $250 as for other models. [via I Want a Pink Zune]
