Zune HD Pre-Order Available

A few weeks ago I posted about the Zune HD, the new Microsoft media player to compete against the iPod Touch. While Apple is certainly not in anyway close to losing their lead over the media player market, the new Zune HD will certainly close the gap a little more. Prices were actually leaked a few weeks before the Pre-Order pages started showing up. Currently both Amazon and Best Buy have the 16GB version available for $219.99 and the 32GB version for $289.99, both to begin shipping on 9/15/2009.

From what I have seen the 16GB version is available in Black, while the 32GB version comes in a Silver color. Other than memory size both devices are the same on the inside. The new Zune HD has the following features which will make it stand out against the iPod Touch. It includes an HD Radio tuner, OLED touch screen, the ability to display videos through the A/V Dock in 720P HD format. Those are only a few of the new features that will be coming with the new Zune HD media player. I certainly look forward to being able to play with the new device when it is released.
Once I have the device in hand I will throw a Review post up with some pictures and what not. The one thing this blog is missing is some pictures, they help to break up the constant stream of text that the blog currently is. And with those pictures hopefully I can settle this blog into a niche, one that will bring with it some new readers. Until then, have a good day and make sure to check out the new Zune at a Best Buy near you.
