Zune HD: Hands On

[braelynpatton]

zune sucks

[brr404]

just like your mom........

[ATTAKhq]

That would be, sucks, blows, and rolls around in her own fecies that one days.

Braelynpatton your mom is a dirty girl.

[toofrigginfrustratin]

you may use a little tact till you rly know what youre talking about pal

[inuyasha9582]

hey does anybody know if the web browser on the zune hd can go on youtube (flash)!?!??!?!?!?!?!

[brr404]

It supports flash but due to licensing it wont be available till they get it sorted it out :/

[frankoi31]

I think the zune hd is a concurent of the iPod touch 2G in terms of capabilities but when the 3G will arrive the zune hd will just be better with the HD capabilities but otherwise the ipod is gonna kill the zune one more time

But the design of this zune is much better than the old models

[iikbenmooi]

I think the Zune is cool.

But i hope the Itouch 3G !!

will have a cam and a mic bullit in.

But i'll stick with the ipod cam or no cam.

But the zune's cool (i think;)

[MrVeeBlog]

Exploding Iphones isn't a new story. Ipods have been melting, overheating and catching fire since the first generation. The iphone is no different. The difference is fanboy's pretend this is an unusual occurrence for that technology when it ain't.

[MrVeeBlog]

Hey, a little respect. You seem to forget when Apple was struggling to make ends meet in 1997 for their platform, they could not go to the banks for financing but hit Microsoft up for a payday loan to the tune of $150.000.000.00 AND give them 5 more years of support on Mac Office.  Another thing, Microsoft has been running on the Intel chip for a thousand years and Mac the Motorola chip. Mac is now building for the Intel chip.

Who is copying who?.

[MrVeeBlog]

No. They just explode in your face or catch fire. Google that.

[Ehunter23]

hmmmm just wait a few months to see if there is anything rong with it ...just like all pc's theres bound to be something rong (fucken vista >:0 ) lol but yer if its good i take it i will get it but i hope its 80 gigs cus my 30 gig zune is full :(

[gee1234567890]

but again microsoft copied a big device hoping there greedy little hands take home some of the money. lets face it, this wouldnt have come out if it werent for the touch, xbox wouldnt have come out if it werent for the playstation

[brr404]

and the touch wouldnt have existed if it wernt for samsung, and playstation wouldnt have existed if it wernt for nintendo..

[297030002]

yes the list goes onn, EVERY company contributes to eachother somehow in places (sortive) and also this better come in a 64 gb version when it comes out.

[d2fly352]

but even though microsoft may have copied them microsoft once again came harder and better than apple, sony, and nintendo together

[gee1234567890]

but if the new touch has a camera and a mic then it just beat the zune

[brr404]

ok thats 2+,

zune=7++ zune originals, 4 diferent colors, custom engraving and customizing, hd video out, hd radio, faster processor, wireless etc etc etc.

[gee1234567890]

do you know how fast the new touch is gonna be? the new touch may have everything we've ever wanted cause apple knows the new zune is coming out. and screw the radio

[MrVeeBlog]

So the Itouch is garbage because you can't make calls with it right?

My point is compare similar devices. Zune HD has no phone, mic or camera. Why compare it to a device that has that? Anyone want to buy my iTouch 30 gig (JB)? I'm getting rid of it for the Zune HD.

[gee1234567890]

wel actually if you did your research you can makes calls with it you can text for free with it cause of over a billion apps in the already developed app store

[56guyfire]

true but all the improved features from

ps3 wuldnt be there if it werent for 360 like downloading demos,the trigger r2 button etc

[gee1234567890]

hey im a 360 fan

[dkang57]

in the end, IBM STARTS IT ALL

[gee1234567890]

true

[MrVeeBlog]

And there would be no playstation or Xbox if there was not for Atari or Commodore 64. There would be no MP3 players at all if not for Diamond Rio PMP300.

You fanboys need to get off it with this notion that it all began with Apple nonsense. As a matter of fact, "Touch" is nothing new either. McDonalds had it first because you guys can't count money so they give you pictures and the Japanese has been using Touch in their phones long before an Iphone.

[gee1234567890]

ive already established that but your calling me a fanboy? youre the one that knows all that stuff. oh well ive learned a ton i just dont like that microsoft sorta copied the touch

[brr404]

what are they copying from them?

they are just taking the Zune media player another step forward -.-

[joshwhitenack]

@gee1234567890 The funny thing is that if Zune didn't have a lot of features the iTouch did then you would bitch about that, but since it does you just call it copying. All you people do is try and search for reasons to hate something that's new, and better.

[gee1234567890]

@joshwhitenack no, in the end im trying to get people to not waster their money.

[joshwhitenack]

@gee1234567890 Right.. Because you use logic, thought process and facts to support what you say. HA yeah right just shut the fuck up you apple fag. You're just trying to prove people wrong so you can feel right and feel better that you made the right choice in purchasing your garbage ass product when in reality you fucking failed.

Go compare Zune's hardware, music quality, musical value, video quality, screen durableness, and prices and MAYBE you'll start understanding things. Idiot..

Haha..

[gee1234567890]

@joshwhitenack First off, if people just wanted music they would get a nano of something. And fine, you win, you proved that u are the better YouTube comment arguer and I know you only got that well off of shear dedication, cause I don't have the balls to reply to a comment that was made several months ago. All in all what I have to say is app store

[joshwhitenack]

@gee1234567890 Haha.. Whatever kid me being able to type a comment on a website stating facts and opinions has no indication whatsoever of me being a fucking YouTube nerd.. Back to the point, Zune doesn't only have better music it basically has better everything, except apps, OH MY FUCKING GOD! So are you saying that the only reason you bought it is for apps? No? Then why is that all the people who prefer iTouchs can say..? All in all what I have to say is Software, Hardware, significant things.

[gee1234567890]

@joshwhitenack I don't know bout u, but the zune HD os is the ugliest os I've ever seen, it's a list. I'm glad to know you spent ur money on a a list os. And when I've shown my iPod to someone not one person has asked what the processor was or what the sound quality is. According to the market share people care about what a device can do, not would it could do.  And then with os 4 we'll multitasking and game center, so have fun with your list

[joshwhitenack]

@gee1234567890 The funny thing is that I do have an iTouch and I hate it so much. It was a gift from my uncle, it was his old one. My friend has a Zune HD that's how I know for sure it's better, because I've actually used one. The OS isn't ugly.. It's awesome, but I guess you've convinced yourself that to make you feel better, whatever it doesn't matter. I think that Zune software on both the device and the computer looks amazing. Seriously tell me something I don't know that's actually true.

[gee1234567890]

@joshwhitenack What exactly makes u hate the itouch? Cause I bet u only like the HD do much cause u don't have one but I've used one, it's human nature. But as a honest opinion I don't like the zine os

[joshwhitenack]

@gee1234567890 Well the main thing I hate about the iTouch is having to deal with shitty iTunes. Also just the music quality is garbage compared to the Zune. The fact that it's a scratch and fingerprint magnet. And no I don't just like the Zune better because I don't own it and by human nature for some reason feel like I need it, I'm a little smarter than that give me some credit. And the iTouch is basically a list OS.. just because the layout isn't doesn't mean the rest of the device isn't.

[gee1234567890]

@joshwhitenack fine i except defeat, i hope that there are no hard feelings and i am tired of this argument as in it's opinion based and there will be no winner. Have a good life

[Bakjakjen]

The zune logo on the bottom of the device is a little bit ugly if you ask me. I hope that is a sticker!

[masterminekid90]

zune is better hands down.

[mbishop540]

anyone know if it has speakers in it or not? that would be crazy if it did then it would obliterate the ipod

[brr404]

np =P

[brr404]

well the thing is that you dont get new features with apple's firmware updates, and with zune you do....

[braelynpatton]

ok whatever atleast i dont have to spend money on a virus protection thing because i have a mac much much better than microsoft

[MrVeeBlog]

You must be stuck in the late 90's. Avast, AVG, Comodo and others make excellent Antivirus packages ALL FREE. No need to purchase antivirus. Haven't been a need for decades.

So that point is moot.

Also, A Mac is "hardware" not software. Excluding the Xbox Microsoft doesn't build computers. Like Linux, they build software that run on THOUSANDS of computer brands. OSX is limited to two platforms. Fanboys love to brag but generally know less than a PC or Linux head about computers.

[brr404]

well at least it was solved.... it didnt charge for fixes, and zune screens are not defective like ipod screens (google it) and we get free firmware updates....

[brr404]

bwahaha i had norton hated it, total ripoff it did happen that it still let em pass but now i got ESET smart security, and i havent had a single virus till date........

[braelynpatton]

ok brr404 im sorry i dont research that kind of stuff, but it sounds like you have a pretty sick life researching about computers and zunes, so have fun getting all those viruses, and have fun playing with your zune, while i will not be worrying about viruses on my APPLE computer and my APPLE ipod touch

[brr404]

i dont do research either..... im telling u to do research, i have common sense unlike u, and no i have virus protection so sorry to disapoint u but i wont be having fun with any virus anytime soon, and i do remember btw that apple sent out a couple of ipods with preloaded viruses... so yea......

[brr404]

zune hd will be better than ipod touch...

and i never said apple copied microsoft so learn to get ur facts straight. and apple is not fkn user friendly.....and there are way better phones out there than the ipod touch!

On viruses: ugh u need to do research and learn alot, y the fk would u make a virus for some crap that has the minimal users! even virus coders are smarter then u get ur facts straight u damn dipsht. god damn ignorant!

[braelynpatton]

no im pretty sure i meant zune sucks well because it does, and Microsoft copies everything apple makes because they suck, and have the worst operating system out there so dont say there better because they are not.

[brr404]

zune is way better then ipod...... how is ipod better anyways? i dont see ipods having tegra,hd radio, radio in general, wifi on all devices, free updates, etc etc etc. and microsoft doesnt copy apple, apple copies another product and puts a fkn fruit on evrything they sell! Apple did not fkn invent anything they just copied u dipsht! damn ignorant. and if they have the worst OS then howcome they are the nuber one selling OS, go do research kid...

[braelynpatton]

zune sucks no where near as good as ipod touch or iphone

[brr404]

no no no u mean apple sucks, and i know its nowhere near as good as the ipod line, its way better...

[KlhDramaqueen]

HOw much is it? and can you download aim on it or dont you know?

[brr404]

check out my new vid, for more details but its set to cost from $249-$279

[brr404]

for 16 Gb

[ryuken911]

i have an ipod touch at it first its exciting for 1 to2 weeks but then its boring even though you have it jailbroken it still sucks i go for zune all the way and microsoft all the way i always love their products and stuff apple sucks ass thats why i am getting this for x-mas

[brr404]

nice ;D, agree with you ppls always brag about the apps and stuff and barely 1000 of them are useful the rest just bleh....

[braelynpatton]

ok mabye they arnt that great before you jailbreak them but once you jailbreak one its so much better more features and lots more to do on it and what kind of name is zune?

[brr404]

jail breack has a chance of bricking the device so no point there.... and we get free updates on all zunes that have ever been sold unlike apple which chrges for its updates...and what kind of name is ipod?

isnt a pod like a beans? and whats with putting an i in front of everything?

[braelynpatton]

ipod touches and iphones are much, much, much better!! I recommend an ipod touch or iphone if anyone here is trying to decide on which one you should get, IPHONE OR IPOD TOUCH IS THE WAY TO GO!

[brr404]

how are they better? i dont see ipod and iphones having OLED screens,Tegra processor, wireless marketplace on all devices, better and faster accelerometer etc etc etc.. u may love apple but apple doesnt love you!

[KristianaXOXOXO]

they also are crappy quality. everyone knows that iphones are very defective... they break and become messed up easily, trust me on that one.

[ih8blackzkkk]

Apple blows!!! there computers-MACS are so stupid and lame and PC's are way better.

[AuzieAusborne]

now that is one fucking amazing touch screen ZUNE

[walkwalk69]

you know how i know your gay

you listen yo coldplay.

[brr404]

me? pfft thats the zune ppl u noob u dont read descriptions.... -.-

[sometimesoonfan]

sorry apple but microsoft has won this round.

[CraftLulz]

nice shot of the carpet...

[Alhambrattp]

Awesome another IPOD killer!

[brr404]

i sure hope so ;D

[havokauto]

its all over ipod freaks

[macortez3]

haha no shit, i agree

[Willhu81]

omg i fucking want now

[SWATS818]

Does anybody have any idea of the memory and prices for the Zune HD models?

[epic507]

I think it's coming in a 16gb and 32gb.

[americanboy64]

i want so effinf badly  it looks pretty sleek in other photos its so bad ass

[edgar669966]

does it have wifi?

[epic507]

Yes it does. It has the feature that the current Zunes have, where you can buy music directly from your Zune via wifi music store. But the Zune HD also has a web browser. So, anywhere that has wifi you can surf the web with your Zune HD.

[edgar669966]

hmm. it looks really cool but my 2 year contract for my phone is gonna end in a month and the iphone 3G is only a $100 now so i dont think i'll wait for this :/

[freeskier36]

yea it does its almost identicle as the ipod touch

[MrVeeBlog]

Yes it does. And you can sync wirelessly with a Zune.

[MacGruber33]

can't wait for Zune HD! already got the black 80GB

[jgood123]

hey do u know when it will be released? and will it ave apps like the ipod?

[brr404]

it will probably be released september 8th, and ys it wil have apps since users can currently use xna studio to make games and apps there are plenty right now but more will come.

[Evofusiontm]

speaker on the bottom left?

I hope it has speakers like the 2nd gen ipod touch...

I have a 30 gig already, gonna get this one for sure

[selkiesdilhoe]

i didnt see "games" in the menu.....

[brr404]

read description...

[MacGruber33]

thats because microsoft is keeping its game compatability a secret for now

[0username000]

definitely getting one of those... i hope it has a speaker like the touch though. looks way cooler than any ipod!

[newreveng04]

ive been through 2 30gb zunes and defenetly gonna get this one!!

[anubisthagod]

Hurry up and release it already lol i wonder how much it going to cost like over 200 or something

[ToyFlameThrower]

watch out itouch...

[RemedyX77]

I can just feel the Zune Phone Coming soon. Hopefully to Big Red.

[Bucky9061]

cant wait for it to come out...

[RedPortiaOne]

I Have just received a confirmed release date from a very reliable source for the Zune HD. The Zune HD will be released on September 5th along with the new fall line from Microsoft. Spread the word. Im so excited and cant wait :)

[drummafromyomotha]

will this have external speakers?

[kennyvic88]

Zune HD is better Touch 2, cant deny

[Fezert]

@All you idiots saying Apple is the best, listen up. The only thing Apple is good at is making aesthetically pleasing products that aren't worth shit in the long run.Seriously, who wants a product that only looks good but can't really do shit. The only thing iPhones are good at is having useless 'apps'. iPods are only good for playing unorganized music (thanks to iTunes,) and the Mac computers are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced for what you get in them. Seriously, get your own mind already, you drones.

[RedPortiaOne]

You go man!!! Mac and ipod are garbage as far as I'm concerned to. It is all overpriced and delivers nothing for your dollar. The reason mac it is so overpriced is there is no demand for the product. So they have to jack thier prices sky high. Apple are losers compared to Microsoft. They are second, always have been and always will be. You cant beat Bill Gates and Microsoft, so give it up Apple and Steve Jobs. BTW they need to stop putting i in front of everything. iLosers lol.

[Airborneplaya]

although i completely hate apple, i have to disagree, at the moment.. apple i believe, is currently number 1. i mean, you can throw a lil apple on anything, and it'll sell like a MF. just shows people are buying the brand name, not the product. if people actually paid attention to the product, microsoft would easily be No. 1 no doubt a bout it..

[RedPortiaOne]

Apple is not number one and never will be IMO. Apple is to pricey and has never delivered competitively priced products that deliver great performance. You can buy 3 Microsoft laptops for the price of one Mac. That is crazy in any economy and insane in a recession like we are in. If apple has a chance of being number one anywhere it would be among the rich 10% of society who dont worry about having enough money like 90% of us who have to.

[brr404]

u tell em portia

[Airborneplaya]

i was not talking about laptops. ext.. i was mainly talking about ipods ext.. i mean.. fuck pillows you can plug a ipod into.. wtf.

[stickfigure1000]

at least mac has faster internet and doesn't get viruses like a pc. as far as im concerned windows sucks and they ripped off a great device known as the ipod

[brr404]

well u noob. mac doesnt get viruses because all the virus writers are too busy with PC because there is tons of pc's. tell me y would they waste their time making some virus for the small amount of macs there is compared to pc's. get ur facts straight b4 u comment. go fk ur icunt

[JeffWaffles]

Operating system does not correlate with internet speed at all. Depend on your service provider, what kind of ethernet card you have. And if you buy a $30 piece of software known as Kaspersky Antivirus, your PC will never get a virus. "Oh, look, pay 2000 bucks for your Mac, and you'll never get a virus!" only is an answer to "Pay 600 bucks for a PC with the same specs as that 2000 dollar Mac, and then pay $30 more, and you'll never get a virus!"

[stickfigure1000]

i only paid 1000 bucks first of all and im sorry if i said windows sucks. my friend got on my account. yes i do think personaly mac is better but i still think windows is great to.

[vesocsm]

i am a windows user and the main reason i don;t like apple is because they want to much money for the stuff they make. Yes the build quality and extras are great and deserve more money, but not as much. My main problem is that win crashes, hope that's not the case with 7. Hope it is stable as OS X.

[stickfigure1000]

well they are a little bit pricy and i like windows alot but i think mac is just a tad better.

[ibixthaprinze]

but macs are expensive

[SPslyspartan117]

I would agree that apple is second best. But you can't compare the level of user friendliness of there products to anything. They know what the people want and deliver it in the best way possible. And can you honestly say the iPod Touch is garbage?. As of right now it is the best music player on the market, so I wouldn't qualify that as garbage. I am really looking forward to the Zune HD, I hope it dominates the Ipod Touch. Also you must be very young by the way you write and speak. You sound 3.

[gamefreak1097]

is their a bult in speaker?

[bluefisch200]

I will get one right now OO

[JamKat91]

they copied ipod touch

[tyguy11213]

they need to make money too, it's not about who's copying who

[iloverrecon101]

apple is beast ipod touch looks better

[ilyearer]

are you kidding me, iloverrecon? even if you want to claim that the ipod touch is more aesthetically pleasing than the Zune HD, you can't argue that things look better on the ipod, since the Zune HD has an OLED screen.

[robert421991]

and flicking the pictures is not copied by the ipod touch / iphone

...

fucking microsoft!

[Fehrle4]

will never be better than ipod touch, apple is the best at tech...computer, cell phone, mp3's

[juliuszzz123]

maybe this one is better because its brand new.apple is best.

[iBashApple]

Maybe you think apple is the best because you are blinded by Steves ballsack.

[judyjoey123]

problem's they r all too overpriced.take the macbook.2.4ghz i think and 2gb of rams cn cost as much as SGD2088.they r all so overprice now it leaves an impression of hearing the word 'apple' makes ppl ponder on how expensive the product wil be.

[glydeuserhelp]

omfg cant wait zunemart

spin off halo odst for this omg so doppe gonna kill itouch and yes motherfuckers it can zoom in on pictures

[3abcd2]

The official website is up. Web browsing is supported.

[houston11ss]

how did you get a zune hd?

[brr404]

read description =.=

[xerxaxax]

You guys gotta realize something. This OLED screen is going to make this device quite expensive. Not only will it be more expensive, but the battery life is going to suck!

[UTubesWorst]

no the battery life will actually be better with the oled, but it will prbly still be quite expensive

[TallGuy0250]

Actually the OLED screen will improve battery life because it doesn't use a back light unlike conventional screens but the price will probably be very high

[xerxaxax]

Oh really? i thought it would be terrible because the screen is extremely nice looking!

[shaqgotcash]

that not true the sony walkman x has a oled display and its not that expensive its the same price as the 16GB iTouch

[brr404]

like shaqgotcash says: it wont b expensive it will be the same price as the ipod touch if not lower, and OLED screen pwns conventional PMP screens.

[nelson665mc]

is there any games u can play

[Rice8Daddy]

My only problem with this is that I already have a full touch phone, is it really sensible to buy this as well?

Besides, I live in the UK, so I think I am going to have to buy this over ebay...

[brr404]

well it depends, but id say stick to your phone since it wouldnt b that smart to have both....

[13yogirl]

I heard a rumor there could possibly be a 120gig Zune HD, probally just a typo but imagine...120 gig

[brr404]

lol yea if there were to b one it ewould b very expensive =(

[Carloz800]

if there is gonna be a 120Gb zune, it would be expensive because the drive can be a slim SSD and they are not cheap

[CorazonEspinad0]

OMG, i just bought an ipod.... -_- zune could have aid they were coming out with something totally awesome.

Oh well...

[brr404]

its not public yet not that many people now about it...... but return the ipod? zune ftw

[sl0wm0]

I like Zunes but they never fail to leave out features that make the ipod better, it pisses me off. Like external speakers, they could've really gone above and beyond and try to out-do the Ipod Touch's and Iphones quality or if not just fucking have them. Hopefully the softwares good altho I doubt it will ever surpass the touch's app support.

Btw I own a Zune and I want to get this if its better than itouch but if MS doesnt out-do it and leaves features out then they can go fuck themselves

[askmehow25]

those apple fanbois make me sick..they are never ready to acknowledge a good device. LOSERS! try keeping ur ego aside for once...

[koolwip213]

looks awesome

[thehateman]

yet they don't have a phone lame

[NTComputer86]

i heard they will in at least a year, probly more like 2 years

[kchuk]

have you ever heard of Pink??? look into it...

[sabia94]

ok, quick question....i was lookin this up cause i of course thinks it's freakin awesome, and i heard that it's supposted to have WiFi, if its supposted to have WiFi, how come you didn't show it?? or i'm guessing u didn't get any wifi or sumthing. anyways, good video. i've been dying to actually see one working, not just pictures.

[brr404]

lol im dying to c the web browser too but they havnt actualy finished all the software and are still working on but im pretty sure theyll use their wifi function or say sumtin about it at this years E3

[NTComputer86]

Zunes have had wifi, but the web browser i def wanna see

[randomchampion]

Cowon S9 probably blows this outta the water.

[BMSPaintballer]

[brr404]

ipod fanboy.....-.-

[brr404]

ipod fanboy.....-.-

[TheHusky9]

LOL WUT. Dude, this has a tegra chip in it... from what ive seen, it will be able to deal with most, if not all xbox live arcade games. Xbox liev marketplace pwns the app store inside out!

[vivixx100]

3rd the video..although he didnt play...he tried to move it to landscape it didnt move lool

[vivixx100]

2nd picture view sucks...not full screen protrait or landscape...i wonder why not??..

[brr404]

its the resoulution of the picture if it were a larger resolution it would display fully.

[Phoenixfire360]

dont be jealous ipod fanboy.

sorry the ipod costs a fortune to fix and your waiting for it to get back from apple atm.

1st.i dont think the ipod has a OLED touch screen

2nd.the accelerometer works faster than the ipod touches

and 3rd.if you would read the description THIS ISN"T THE FINAL PRODUCTION MODEL. God stop being so friggin ignorant and read.

[vivixx100]

1st ...music nothing at all special....however ipod kills far much better....better view and browsing of albums not even comparable

[brr404]

this is not final firmware read the frkn description for once!!

[Phoenixfire360]

looks friggin awesome ill be trading in my old 30 gig h3 edition for one of these.

i think apple has some serious competition if the touch screen works as good as it does in this video.

[LatinWarrior619]

nothing special

[aznbill123]

I rather take the prototype right now XD

[aznbill123]

o.O
