Microsoft has officially announced the Zune HD, confirming all rumors that were previously mentioned. It’s definitely going to compete with the iPod Touch, but will it win?
First off, the touchscreen is a 3.3″ 16:9 widescreen OLED with multitouch, with a resolution of 480×272. The “HD” comes from the inclusion of HD radio (first PMP to have this feature) and HD (720p) video-out, which is only available with an optional docking station.
The Zune HD will also include an accelerometer, WiFi, and a portable browser based off of Internet Explorer.
We’ll definitely hear more about the Zune HD come E3. Availability is noted as “early fall” and no pricing or storage capacities have been announced yet.
