I’m going to try to keep this as un-Apple biased as possible.

Yesterday, the official Zune blog announced that the price of Microsoft’s portable media device would be dropping to $199, effective Wednesday, September 5.

Speculation on the motivation for this price drop ranges everywhere from the likelihood of a new Zune product (which we reported on here) and the even greater likelihood of a new iPod today.  Regardless, if you’ve been holding out hope to pick up one of these for some reason (sorry, had to sneak it in there), now’s the time.
