Update: As promised by Microsoft, The Naked Loon’s 30GB Zune successfully booted to the main Zune menu after midnight. Happy New Year, you fabulous little obsolete brick! The ZuneCam will remain online until tomorrow at 12:00 noon.
Final Update: For posterity, the Live 30GB Zune Webcam has been archived as a slideshow below. Relive all the excitement and tension of the great Zune Apocalypse of 2k9 (minus one).
