Comments on: Video: Hands-on look at the Zune HD

As All Things D wrapped up on Thursday, CNET News' Ina Fried got a quick chance to get close to the Zune HD, which Microsoft plans to ship this fall.

I like my 80G Zune ....waiting for the Zune HD also with more storage than 16G ...podcast Zune Insider 21 Audio mentions a 16G Zune HD ..with its browser interface with Twitter and Internet Exporler ..rather a Ipod Touch 8G ...i dont like Ipods over priced my opioion. No price yet for the 16G Zune HD Touch.. Zune.net will show a 259G in the works ..they sink the the harddrive.. no words it yet also .

OLED is definitely a plus, must look very nice and deep. My final satisfaction with this device lies in how well it performs sound wise. Zune has been a better sounding media player over the iPod ever since it came out, so I expect nothing less.

looks like this could make as a nice mirror

The reviewer writes: Apple's iPod "could give the Zune's HD Radio and other features a run for their money."

Seriously? Apple could give Zune a run?

How about they already are and always have been.

It's Zune that's playing catch-up, not iPod, get it straight. You don't give the competition "a run" if you're already lapping the field.

The greatest evidence of this: "it's got wifi so it's a web browser," you say. Except there is no web browser that you've seen or can demonstrate. How does that make it a web browser? It doesn't; it makes it a radio with OLED. Real sweet . . . for 1965.

And that app store thing that Apple has going for it . . . yeah, that could be a deal breaker for some folks who are interested in things like turn-by-turn gps, games, streaming live MLB baseball games, books, magazines, or 50,000 other things from voice recorders to restaurant reservations to guitar tuners.

One can expect to see an MS based APP store in conjunction with the Zune Marketplace and XBL together. As for game possibilities? Its been confirmed that it is using Nvidia's new chipset so that alone puts it miles ahead of the Itouch for possible gaming. 256mg of memory inside and the chipsets power will give this device the ability to play all Xbox games and XBL arcade games if they choose so.

As for OLED screen? HUGE advantage over the Itouch. Better looking screen viewing and the bonus is it will use substantially less power. So OLED is 1995? Then that would make the Itouch screen 1885 then :P

Relax on the hate. Competition is good.
