@tristan
there is bluetooth support because at the cnet video primere of this the guy was saying if i had my wireless headfones on i would hear the regualar radio and then the hd or along those lines.

side note i have a 80gb zune i am satisfied. those people who want to go and buy an ipod touch go ahead it has apps big deal thats why i have a computer with windows 7, im nnot a fan boy but a believer in variety, i myself love zune and microsoft and everything other then apple crap because its different! if i wanted a mac i would install a unix os on my computer and be bored. cuz thats what mac is a boring os you cant play games all pc games on it and so on, if you want to preach about how good apple is go ahead just not on a page about zunehd which will blow the shit out your precious ipod touch

The new zune hd is jammed full of really good things… I am so happy as a windows mobile developer because I am hopeful many of these technologies and features appear in the next major release of windows mobile 7.

I have a Zune for 3 Years and love it. The Marketplace is much better that than iTunes. You can actually download and play MP3’s!

I was going to buy a HD Radio but now I am going to wait for my new HD Zune – where can I pre-order!!

Maybe all the zune lovers should look at this page.

Who is the market for this device? It’s not a phone. It is spanked pretty hard by the current iPod Touch let alone the new one we can expect to see soon.

This sounds like a great competitor to the iPod touch and might even be better

I love all the people saying “the iphone/ipod has been around too long and i dont see this succeed.” With that logic, Sony should of never come out with the playstation, and Microsoft should of never come out with the Xbox. Blu-ray would of never been the dominant format. Most of the people that think zune is a joke have never used the zune software. It by far is the best software i’ve used. It does a great job of combining drm free music, and monthly rental service. The great thing is that you get 10 free downloads with the subscription service. basically, you’re paying only 5 dollars a month to have access to all the music you can fit onto a hard drive!

I think the HD radio is a hot feature. This will be a hit!

Is this again going to be available in US only. What about the rest of the world:(

No storage specs? Anything less than 128gb is fail, really. I’d prefer to see at least 250gb. Who needs flash, really? Or at least expandable memory.

This discussion should be all about Zune Pass: $15 a month gives you unlimited streams on any computer, unlimited downloads to your Zune, and 10 DRM-free downloads. Apple can’t compete with that.

Sounds great! Would have been better as a phone..I still may get this

I’m sorry, but I fail to see why people hate the Zune so much. I’ve had the 80GB for a year now and I just love it. The only thing I hate about it is the bulky size, but looks like that’s about to change. And hey Apple before adding a camera to an MP3 player (wtf!?) why not add an FM radio like the Zune.

Is this still Toshiba designed HW?

Looks nice but the display spec is a bit odd. Why not shove the i8910 LCD in there?

zunefan — Wed, 27 May 2009 16:46:33 +0000

HAHAHA the screen is so LOW resolution that the word “Marketplace” can’t even fit on the screen! Microsoft is already a year late with this product and they give it a screen with a resolution of only 480×272? Thats lower than the ipod touch and Samsung P2. Needs at least a vga or wvga screen to compete

Finally. Thank you Microsoft, thank you.

Imo, I think first thing is we buy these items as a music player 1st. Y in the world would we wanna buy a music player with a camera? The rumored touch with camera to me personally is flat out stupid. Don’t we all have phones that have good or even great cameras on em? And who doesn’t carry their phone with em everywhere they go? I’m a zune user & dj & for anyone that doesn’t know about zune, its a fantastic music player. I am also a gamer so if the zune hd has xbox live inergration, this will be a knockout. Apple definately has this market right now no doubt but don’t even think for a second that ms is gonna back down from making a superior product eventually. Itunes is a really good interface but I think that zune marketplace is MUCH more user friendly. Overall, I’m really excited about this product & I cannot wait til it drops. Apple, get ready for some real competition in this market. Its coming.

If there was ever a product for losers, made by losers, this is it.

The very name zune makes everyone laugh in derision.

Microsoft is a joke.

First off, if Microsoft wasn’t competing Apple wouldn’t keep “one uping” them. Which in turn makes you apple fanboys happy. If they didn’t apple would just be putting out products that were only minor improvements. Second, Why would I want a camera on an mp3 player??? This isn’t a cell phone and If I wanted a camera I would buy a real camera not some 3.2 mp camera phone type lens. Last but not least, If this thing has the Tegra chip in it, Apple will have competition. Add to that the zune marketplace/xboxlive intergration and you have 20 million people (that own a 360) that might find it to be a great product since apple doesnt have the intergration like that. Not only will you be able to download it to the device over wifi and the pc, you’ll also be able to download music and videos through the 360. Which is one of the main reasons I’m very interested in this product.

I have an 80 gb Zune, a 16 gb touch and an 30gb classic (for the wife) I only bought the touch to watch digital dload movies that came with my blu-rays. If MS is smart enough to add their own DRM play forsure crap to the Zune hd (which was left off the Zune for some reason) and has stereo bt, I am in.

I love my Zune80! Like Glenn said, I picked it over the iPod Classic. I sits nicely on my desk in its cute little Zune dock. Nothing like using the cool remote to work it too! The only small feature that I wish it had and hope the Zune HD will have once the “official” specs come true, is bluetooth. Its a pain in the arse to be tied by cord to the device via headphones.

So, it looks like i’m passing the Zune80 onto my daughter and she can now ditch the “Lemming” device called an iPod Nano and Dad can get the Zune HD!

I can’t wait for E3 to see the Zune HD in action.
