ZUNE HD VIDEO HANDS ON :)

[DejectedPanda]

There's a rapper named Thurston Howel III. Freekin hilarious.

[CallMeTom22]

Can you use these in England? If you can how well do the work? please get back to me :)

[ZUNECARDSTV]

Yes it will, by buddy from Darkzune has one. He's from England.

You will have to change your region setting in windows in order to get all the free goodies on the marketplace though.

Let me know when u get it i'll direct you to a registry hack that fixes that issue.

[Kzeron]

I want one!!!!! :D

[robraw101]

I really want to see the zune hd web page layout, I'll bet it sucks.

[reconhelmet]

nopes sites load up so freakin fast

[Chocoko]

I'm so obsessed with this player... 2 DAYS LEFT!!!! ( I also hope the Canada will get it at the same time, but i doubt it =[ )

[applepie1656]

I'm trying to find a zune hd video i havent watched yet. lol. WATCH FOR MY UNBOXING ON THE 15TH!!!!!

[ZUNECARDSTV]

Keep me posted, I just hope we Canadians get it the same time you guys in the states get it. only 5 days. W00t!!!

[kooperiskool1]

when does it come out??

[ZUNECARDSTV]

The 15th of this month.

[pqzroc]

why can you not rotate the keyboard? is it really that hard? you can do it with pictures why not keyboard?

[ZUNECARDSTV]

This is a beta Os on the demo units, but ya I agree with you.

We still could get that option in the future B/C the zune platform is know for pushing out free OS updates month after the initial release.

[Karatejake00]

I agree with Noemhy13. Plus the zune is going to have apps!!

[46near]

cool

[Rainman737]

that screen looks beautiful. lol i hate using that word but it does.

[ZUNECARDSTV]

Can't fight that HD feeling. :)

[bixlord]

how can you feel a not connected output?

[DJBell1986]

Dudes a slow typist. Can't wait to get me a Zune HD though.

[ZUNECARDSTV]

ya, he need more time with the precious. :)

[Noemhy13]

Guys come on, be real!

Just think about it!

The Ipod Toch 32GB costs about $400, the Zune HD 32GB costs about $290. That's a $110 difference!!! So i don't know about you, but to me $110 is a lot of money. And what do i get extra for $110? some Apps i probably won't even use?

Also, i think the Zune HD look so much better than the Ipod Touch, so in my opinion, the Zune HD is way better (especially for the price) And i'm so buying one.

[vampirebuster666]

the sound quality on the ipod touch sucks!!! i have one. i'm just using it as an internet device and i like the apps but having to compromise on sound is a big let down :(

still using my sony player and the sound quality is awesome. one thing i've noticed is hip hoppy and dance tracks sound prety decent on the ipod but metal and rock and very treble intense music really sounds crappy on the touch. the zune hd looks really tempting... my zune 1st gen has better sound quality than my ipod touch.

[ZUNECARDSTV]

APPS ARE COMING PEOPLE.

[iLLuSi0n1sTxCoI7y]

1. As far as photos go I haven't seen one, but no one has confirmed there to be a speaker.

2. It's rumored that it will have apps. Maybe not right when it comes out but it will.

3. Yes

4. Yea, I don't see why not?

[IvanRod182]

hey could someone answer my questions of the Zune HD

1. Does it have a Speaker like the iPod Touch 2g?

2. Will it have apps like the iPod Touch?

3. will I be able to watch youtube on it like the iPod Touch?

4. They said you need the headphones bluged in to listen to the radio. So if I buy 3rd pary headphones will the radio still work?

PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER

[DarkonXBL]

1. No

2. Not out of the box. Rumors are it will support apps and games later on.

3. I think not because it won't support flash out of the box, it might support Flash in the future however.

4. The Zune HD comes with headphones so I dont know why you would like to change them but I'm not sure if you can use any headphones and still get an HD signal.

[IvanRod182]

Thanks for answering

Okay so there's no way im getting the Zune HD now

[ShadowWolf9]

Whoever answered failed completely, some of those are totally untrue.

[IvanRod182]

Then could you answer my questions then?

[dallasstreets]

Just means more HD's for the people who want to be different and not go auto-Apple. Besides

1. That doesn't really matter dude...it runs the iPod's battery down like hell anyway and out of all my friends who have iTouchs, (about 10) I have seen 1 use the outer speakers to show me part of a song.

2. Wtf is it with apps? I've never had any app in my life and I'm perfectly content. It'd be nice yes but does it make an MP3 player? Not in the least

3. It has a browser so I'm going to say yes.

4. Yes

[IvanRod182]

There we go again every one who comments me always says so speakers are dumb or speakers bla bla bla. And fuck apps or I don't need apps. Bla bla bla basically every one who comments me is just saying the iPod Touch is better while trying to defend the Zune HD. Haha makes me laff now.

[dallasstreets]

Dude...I'm just stating my views. The iPod Touch is a fine product and I was going to buy it then I found out that the Zune HD was coming out and I like Microsoft and Zune better than Apple and iPod-I like Zune's format better. Plus, I'm not some spoiled prep who needs entertainment while listening to music. Also, I don't get enough fucking money for a goddam iTouch. It's way too fucking expensive

[jediknightsrs]

I'm gettin 16 also. It's cheaper

[ZUNECARDSTV]

kool, they will have other colors on the zune originals site in 16 GB capacity.

Blue-Red-Green plus the other 2 colors.

[domsantiagogow]

I feel like im the only one geting the 16gb version lol

[akuamakana]

i like this better its like 10x faster and super clear. only advantage ipod touch has is the apps

[ZUNECARDSTV]

I'm sure MS is holding something back for the launch , apps might be one of them.

No one has seen what the social,market,settings looks like as well as zune marketplace for the pc.

[IvanRod182]

No besides the apps which is a really big advantage also the bigger screen, full album artwork, speakers, Mac & PC compatable, thiner, and if the rumer are true a camera and mic so as of right now im not seeing the Zune beating the iPod Touch.

[chltmdwp]

do you really need camera on portable music device? Remember they are all music device not a freaken cellphone. if you got money for ipod, i rather get iPhone....

[IvanRod182]

Yes because there some apps that a camera is required. And also thats what people said years ago when cameras came out on cell phones. They all said do you really need a camera on a phone, a phone is for talking not for taking pictures but look at it now people love that stuff, stuff that you really don't need make the product better in the end, and thats just how it goes. Right now how it looks like the iPod touch 2G is better than the Zune HD. For most people.

[chltmdwp]

yes but time has changed. Everyone has cellphone and camera with it. So my question is if you got that amount of money, why not get an iPhone?

[IvanRod182]

Is that a serious question? Because every single person who has an iPod Touch like me doesn't have at&t that's why. Thats why Apple made the iPod Touch for people who don't have at&t. Really was that a real question because im mean the answer is pretty obvious. But anyways there's your answer.

[Cobija13]

all the music demos have to do with mos def ghahaha

[ZUNECARDSTV]

I think the person that set up the test unites love Mos, i would do the same thing, i would choose my fav artist, mos is one of mine btw. :)

[he1l1o]

Open Source FTW

[salamati7]

Web browsing?

[Bakjakjen]

the animation looks much cooler than on the ipod touch, but i'm afraid this will not be available in europe :( good look microsoft beating the ipod touch third gen!

[steve9509]

If I never had a Zune only Ipods and only have music from itunes can i get my music from itunes onto my Zune Hd? I really only use it for web browsing(Ipod Touch 1st gen) but i just want to know. Anyone know?

[ericcartmansh]

i doubt apple wud have an option in itunes to export ur media library to anything other than ipods, u cud google it and find hacks to do it, officially im sure there isnt a way jakebillo . com / itunes - to - zune - playlist - converter this site has a kind of a hack to do it, u wud need to explore it a bit to see ur options. Dont like apple to much now do u :P long live msft and open source

[steve9509]

Oh okay thanks yeah ill google it, but nah there getting old, with how the touch looks exactly the same with all 3 models ( i saw pictures of the new touch)...and the nanos all basicly look the same the 1st,2nd.4th..its dumb. well yeah im buying the zune hd.

[B1LLIONAIREKR3W]

if you bought music from ITUNES it wont work on the ZUNE because all Itunes music is DRM! and it can only be played on ipods only.

[steve9509]

oh okay:( thanks, your the only one who answered.

[SlitWristSavior69]

thats not true

i switched from ipod to zune

and everything transfered with ease

[americax18]

yep same here, had ipod touch 2nd gen for over year, and just sold it, and pre-ordered zune :D

[B1LLIONAIREKR3W]

i think your lieing! haha.

[steve9509]

really?

[ericko666]

zune hd rocks, imagine the integration with xbox arcade games, those will be great GAMES, not that shitty apps in the iPod shit [I own one]

[B1LLIONAIREKR3W]

Gameing???????? hmmmm!!! ZUNE HD!!

[TheoryGt]

Lol yeah i just looked up the new ipod 3rd gen its a pos...there is really no need for a cam on a MP3 player. but its whatever im sure the next gen zune will have one to.

[AuzieAusborne]

DAAMN that nice, i just wish that theyd come with a 64gb at release, but if they dont ill be getting a 32gb because they are super cheap and sexy, and have amazing features.

[OwnDiZzL3]

My birthday is September 2nd. I'm picking this up as soon as it's released!

[ZUNECARDSTV]

Congrats man, 16 or 32GB version>

[OwnDiZzL3]

The 32gb version. I have a Zune 30gb and 120gb. I've supported Zune since day one. I just love Zune!!!! The ZuneHD looks to be very wondeful device that will give Apple a run for their money....

[ZUNECARDSTV]

kool i got my first zune in 2006 the brown 30, right now it's in the original box with the brown pouch it came with... i'm saving it.

I also have a red 80 original that i might sell or give away once i finally finish my blog.

[SickoZone]

ipod touch 3rd gen will demolishh the zune hd

[ZUNECARDSTV]

Ok, some of us like other brands besides apple.

[TheReturnofDogen]

All the ipod touch 3rd gen will add is a camera >_>

[GypsyRobotic]

Look better than on the iPhone

[ZUNECARDSTV]

I agree!!

[malkito2891]

Oh God please no, this awesome Zune HD would suck like the iPod touch 2nd Gen is they add a speaker to it, don't you notice how the iPod touch 2nd gen battery life decreases very fast with that speaker. thanks but no thanks. Also it would be great if they add flash support to this awesome device. I don't really care about the appstore so much, but i can't lived without youtube, so they better add flash support lol

[steve9509]

What is flash support?

[rafaelrosales94]

what lets you watch videos nd listen to music on ur computer

[steve9509]

Oh I see, so if there is none on the zune i cant watch videos?

[rafaelrosales94]

pretty much... but theyll eventually hav flash though

[steve9509]

oh yeah, ill wait til they get it..thanks!

[nemove19]

OMFG

[aperez5243]

will you be able to watch youtube videos on it????

[ZUNECARDSTV]

No info on flash support as of yet, i hope they do have flash support as well as silverlight.

[veilx]

No flash support on the browser, but im sure microsoft will enable it in future updates, or add app support etc. the point is, sooner or later you will be able to.

[killertank123]

does it have a built in speaker? cuz that will be sweet

[ZUNECARDSTV]

No speakers, it's great without it.

[veilx]

i disagree, i want to be able to show people videos, but ita a little awkward when i tell them to use my headphones, this would be a perfect scenario.

[FrankOmazing]

thats so cool, the hardware and software are both sexy.

[DURAMATRIX112]

really cool i want one of these :D

[ZUNECARDSTV]

I know, there will be apps and games. W00t!!

[alexchrisccc]

wow!! nowt thats an amazing zune!
