The guys over at Gizmodo are reporting that Microsoft just held a meeting to determine the final selling price of the Zune.  The Mole told them that originally Microsoft was going to undercut the 30GB iPod by $10 until Apple dropped the price.  It’s only natural that they see to it that Apple’s price continues to lag behind.  There’s no doubt Microsoft is selling the device at a loss - similar to the Xbox 360 - so they can gain market share and gain back money in the Zune Marketplace.  Very smart Microsoft, but there’s no chance Stevie J is going to let this one slide.

Update: Price has been confirmed at $249.99
