Zune 80/120 supported unicode (at least with 3.0 firmware), it displayed cyrillic characters without any problem.

So the objective is to "beat me" then...? Seems unnecessarily confrontational...

As I said before, this is just physics. Spinning HDs produce magnetic fields that fluctuate at high frequency. Fluctuating magnetic fields produce changes in current. Capacitive screens detect touches using small changes in current.

Combining these two technologies in a small form factor device causes obvious problems.
Well then why did they nuke the Hard drive models? You guys realize we now have no option for people that need a high capacity device? And if your promoting features like apps, games ,audio and HD MOVIES we now need more space on the device than ever.

It probably would have been wise for MS to introduce a new 160GB hard drive version of the ZuneHD even if it had a different type of touch technology like the Archo's that worked with a hard drive.

Touchscreen and Hard drives do work together, capacitive or not the drop in storage doesn't make up for the additional features of capacitive.

Your asking everyone that bought a zune80 or zune120 to dramatically downgrade storage if they want a ZuneHD while adding a capacity eating feautre like HD video playback.

Should've shooped a zune icon into his pupils.

EDIT: Not to interrupt that argument, or anything...

hmm weird, sony ditched the hdd and sure people complained but most people got over it. Then again, sony never had anything over 30gb for their hdd models.

microsoft did not say the zune would be ONLY US, just in the short to medium terms probably. The zune marketplace is only available in the US, and supposedly microsoft said it would launch it this fall in other countries, with the zune no doubt following shortly there after.

the zunehd is a fantastic piece of hardware and firmware, if it was drag and drop and did not require the zune software to move files over, I would probably import one

That's funny, I think that my arsenal of NW-HD5 20GB HDD-based Walkmen is fine enough for me, besides I can't name any rival players that ever had an inline remote as an available option (except maybe the iRiver iHP Series), had a longer battery life per charge (up to 40 hours in a user-replaceable format a that!) or that embraced ATRAC or that will work with my MZ-RH1 as a main source (coverting ATRAC 292kbps to another codec like the ones mentioned), let alone any others that will work with SonicStage CP 4.2 (I know, say what you will about it, I have almost no problems with it), so it doesn't hurt me any bit. I never buy music files online, as I prefer to use either MD or CD masters instead, even if I choose to record an audio stream off of YouTube or off my old cassette or vinyl collections.
