Well, would you look at that. Microsoft's Zune HD's overexposed -- both in quantity of pics and in quality of photography -- camera shoot with the FCC has been made public, showing off quite a bit of the device, its internals, and its dock. We've got two model numbers listed here, 1395 and 1402 representing the 16GB and 32GB models.

Pricing

RR: How much is Zune HD projected to cost?
TK: The prices are not set in stone yet, but the 16GB will be somewhere in the range of $249 -$280

So that leads me to believe the 32gb will cost more than the already released product, for the 16 to be less than most.

Looks like we're finally getting some capacity info going on. An anonymous tipster left the guys at Gizmodo some top secret Microsoft docs detailing the capacity and launch date for the Zune HD. According to these documents, the Zune HD will be launching on September 8th in both 16 and 32GB capacities. Apparently the tipster didn't want to spoil us with much info as there was no word on pricing at the time. Another thing that is probably worth pointing out is that from the looks of the marketing picture above, it seems as the 16GB devices will only come in black, and 32GB will come in silver. But of course, there is always room for some Zune Originality right?-ZuneBoards

@brr404 do you have to pay 4 your music or can i upload the music i already have on the zune?

[brr404]

@ThePwnisher830 you can put ur existing library on it as long as it is a supported format...

Looks nice on the outside, but we all know how MS software fails, and just like the "ring of death" on the Xbox, as soon as the Zune hits the streets they will begin self destructing. MS simply has no clue how to make a quality product. They are so far behind making "media players" at this point they just look silly.

Like the Palm Pre's failure to become the "iPhone Killer!", the Zune HD will fade into the distant background and every kid that gets one will be pissed they didn't get an iPod.

"We all know Microsoft software fails." Thats why millions of people have Windows operating systems right? Zune has already been released, Again Microsoft Is a SOFTWARE company! NOT HARDWARE!

zune is the future

[Kalindugayan]

Oh hey! Have you tried Cashinizer (google it)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my father made tons of cash practically overnight with it. ;D

@yourmotheris19

You can go on a website to cutomize a new ZuneHD (and even inscribe your name on the back). Zuneorginials is the website's name. It's Microsoft's website, too. lol (I think)

@EMIUP "the shit" means it's good. If it's just "shit" then that's bad.

[DaTartanSpartan]

[EMIUP]
