Microsoft confirms Zune HD coming this fall | Beyond Binary - CNET News

Gizmodo - Zune HD Is Real, Has Multitouch Web Browsing, OLED Screen and HD Video - Zune

Looks interesting, even though many "hard" specs haven't been released as of yet (battery life, for example). I really like the design...I just hope this thing doesn't kick after about a year of normal use like my old 30GB -_-

Very interested in this machine. Was starting to think about selling off my Touch 2G, and now I know why.

X2. I hate seeing question marks in place of artist/title information on some of my songs on my 80.

"The "HD" badging comes from the inclusion of HD radio and HD (720p) video-out, though the latter is available only with an optional docking station."

Hmm I wonder if it will have Digital Audio Out?

Would definitely want if it was anodized black!

And YAY for protable HD Radio

Is it confirmed this will only be flash storage? This is dumb if it is, since video output movies will be so big.

I got this from the front page of ZuneScene.com

Chris Stephenson of the Zune team indicated the hard drive player will go on but the smaller flash players will get phased out: "Expect to see the Zune HD...become the definitive Zune product going forward. You will continue to see the hard drive product in the market. (The Zune HD) will take over from existing flash devices."

From what I get out of this, the ZuneHD is gonna replace the Flash Players thus it could only mean that the ZuneHD is flash based.

Any idea whether the 3.5mm port is on the top or bottom?

See Sony, even Microsoft can do 720p capable player, not QVGA.

This Zune HD seems to be a very interesting move. All the specs seem to show that it has winmo 7 inside (capacitive, multi-touch).

I'm a long time WM user and I'm very pleased to see a Microsoft product with capacitive & multi-touch screen. This means that Microsoft is going in the right direction.

The ZuneHD's screen sadly comes with a low resolution.
