Zune HD is the first portable media player that combines a built-in HD radio receiver, high-definition (HD) video output capabilities, organic light-emitting diode (oled) touch screen, Wi-Fi and an internet browser. Zune HD is the next iteration of the Zune device family and brings a new level of listening and viewing experiences to the portable media player category. The Zune HD is slimmer, shorter, and noticeably lighter than an iPod touch or an iphone. The Zune HD is smaller than the iPod touch so its organic light-emitting-diode touch screen is 3. The Zune HD is a great-looking little player, and users will especially appreciate its quick play menu, rich collection of artist information and mesmerizing screen. A Microsoft guy was saying the Zune HD is finally the hardware that catches up to the company's services. More than anything else, the Zune HD is a portable music machine designed for curious fans with large appetites for new music. If the Zune HD is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, album listings will show an artist's entire album catalog and let you preview and download additional songs, or explore the music catalog of similar artists. Compared with the browsers we've seen on similar products, such as the Sony x-series walkman or Archos 5 (opera), the Zune HD is miles ahead of the pack. Microsoft has been attempting to distance its device from apple and its iPod touch, though quite frankly some stiff competition in this monopolized market would be very welcome, and Zune HD is the most capable contender yet. We've got a blurb on each game here, but we've got to just say, after playing with pgr Ferrari edition, we are thankful for that tegra processor that the Zune HD is packing. Now that the Zune HD is out, your least favorite co-worker who loves to make fun of your liking for apple has probably been going on and on about how his Zune HD does HD radio and your iPod touch does not. Of course, video playback on the Zune HD is phenomenal, supporting 720p resolution videos, and playing them back for the user to behold at 30 fps. On the inside, the Zune HD is powered by an nvidia tegra soc (system on a chip) that has an 800 MHz arm processor and a graphics processor (gpu), which makes it powerful enough to play 3d games like quake 3 at high frame rates. Web browsing on the Zune HD is much better than any windows CE handheld that I have seen. Technologically, the Zune HD is one of the most powerful mobile devices out there and its user interface is unbelievably fast, but it lacks applications beyond the basic media player functions. Microsoft Zune HD is a competitor to the apple iPod and both have unique features to attract customers. The thing is, the Zune HD is actually on par with the category leaders (iPod touch, Sony x-series) in codec support: all three force you to either get your video directly from the manufacturer's stores or transcode your video into their specific formats. Zune HD is here!
