Microsoft are doing everything right to make the zuneHD a real beast of a device. More features, more muscle, more connected, more value for money…and all of this, at a better price.

the zuneHD even looks better in than the itouch, and I cant begin to tell you how much I hate the widget laden dashboard of the itouch (the palm pre is the only true example of a beautiful GUI)

Microsoft has done a great job with the zune. They have jumped into a market that was dominated by apple and created a good second place device. at this point they have earned 10%-20% market share, all of which was from apple. they have not done as good of a job as they did with xbox(coming into a play station market, and making this generation’s system fall to the bottom)

Yeah, ok. The Zune HD has the Ipod Touch beat on all points…better screen, UI, superior sound quality, battery life, and better price. Why would you buy something adequate for a higher price when you can buy something superior for less?

This article is completely inaccurate, there are two, not three Zune users, Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates.

Ha ha, I love the title of the article. Come on, let’s get serious, there are maybe half a dozen Zune users out there. For certain, none in Austin, Texas, except at the Target store on display. HD Zune? REALLY??!! I still question HD on small devices. The quality on the iPod/iPhone is MORE than adequate for watching movies and playing games. The Zune is trying to create a nitch market that is soooooooo small that their sales will also prove to be soooooooo small. HD or not, will not be a deciding factor for hardly anyone (maybe for even the 6 current users). ZuneBoyz are really reaching here to justify their Yugo Gadget. Microsoft has a hard time letting go of their crap, just like all their dinosaur software.

well this could certainly be a step in the direction of introducing portability for downloadable movies, one of the biggest complaints people have about DLC at the moment. but 16gb? that may have been enough 4 years ago, but now my memory stick holds more data. 64gb should be the bare minimum, but only if they add a card slot for a sdhc / sdxc card to allow for future expansion. but that is hardly going to happen. in the meantime i guess i will just have to find a 160gb drive i can stick in my 80gb zune.

wow could you get anymore apple-biased. There are by the way more than three zuners out there. Some of them, like me obsessed with the zune hd. Try to get your facts strait next time. For example it’s hdmi via a dock not a built in hdmi port. Also TK said between US$250-280.

Hmm, I can certainly count more than 3 Zune fans of course. Although I’ve certainly been seeing alot of interest by those who have never owned a Zune that are interested in the ZuneHD.
