Microsoft To Launch New Zune
It feels funny to write about the Microsoft Zune, as usually a post about a music player is going to be concerning an Apple product (be it iPod Nano, iPod Touch or even the iPhone), however there is news this week from the Zune realm. Microsoft is set to unveil the sequel to their Zune mp3 player, the Zune HD. While pricing for the model hasn’t yet been released there are some specs hitting the news wire. The Zune HD is expected to include such features as an HD Radio tuner, a touchscreen interface, an integrated IE web browser, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
What else is neat is that the new Zune will be compatible with the Xbox Live Marketplace which will allow Zune HD users to rent films and television programs through their Zune, and of course watch such on their Zune HD.
