Zune UI Still a ‘Work in Progress’? 

Matt Hickey at CrunchGear:

Cesar Menendez […] was nice enough to invite us to a little Pre-Zuning at the Souped Up Cafe, where he was holding a little meet-up for all the Zune fanboys in the Seattle area. In addition, he was nice enough to let us snap a few pics of the hardware (pics of the interface were a no-no, it’s still a work-in-progress) he’d brought with him.

It ships in a month and the UI is a work-in-progress?

#datetime EEE dd MMM YYYY#

gives you a date formatted like: “Thu 12 Oct 2006”.
