Well we talked about it in another thread: Zune HD with touchscreen but it was all based on rumors. Microsoft has officially announced the Zune HD

I have a 120GB Zune and I love it! I can't wait for this baby to hit the markets

Microsoft poised to enter handheld gaming fray with Zune HD

Confirming weeks of speculation, Microsoft has officially announced the Zune HD. The specs -- a 3.3 inch OLED touchscreen, the ability to output in HD, an HD Radio receiver, a full-screen web browser and built-in Wi-Fi -- are pretty impressive, but perhaps the most exciting tidbit is that the Zune marketplace will be fully integrated into Xbox and XBOX Live as a replacement for the current Live video service.

OOh, I can't wait for this to come out! This is something I wouldn't mind dishing out big bucks for. I love my Zune, I'm a very proud advocate for Zune and XBOX. Imagine have it all in one handheld device...I would be in love.

And from the ashes she rises.....

It would be a rip off....if it didn't look so much better than the iTouch. Wink

Re: Zune HD - new handheld gaming

aww i think your screen must be blurry. *wipes screen for Phoenix* there. all better. see...

it's easy to be overwhelmed by the sleek delicate beauty of such a gadget. not overwhelming enough for ppl to rip off the concept behind it, but guess that shows what a fine piece of "equipment" it actually is. Wink

*lol*

Re: Zune HD - new handheld gaming

I'm with you here MIW. The Zune wasn't cutting it, so they decide to try and be more like the Touch.

I'm a Mac hater, but Apple is the way to go for music. I can't remember life before my iPhone.

Re: Zune HD - new handheld gaming

Does anyone else notice a pattern in Microsoft? First, they hack off the apple iTouch. Now they are going for motion control on the XBOX like the Wii had long before them... Oh well. So long as they hold on to their computer powers, I'm good.
