First Look at the Microsoft Zune HD
Just two days after Microsoft confirmed that it would be bringing its newest Zune HD to market this fall, we caught a glimpse of the ultra-sexy device at the All Thing Digital 7 Conference. We only got to play around with the device for a few minutes, but it is at least half as thin as our Zune 80GB device and felt really light in comparison. The player has a 3.3-inch, 480 x 272-pixel display, but what makes this screen stand out is that it uses OLED technology. The colors on the screen were extremely bright, especially when a short nature video played back, and even the text in the user interface was sharp. Underneath the screen is a horizontal button for getting to the menu and there is a volume toggle on the edge. Microsoft seems to have jazzed up the user interface a bit with some added graphics, but for the most part it has the Zune feel we are used to with a central menu that lists everything from Music to Podcasts. We are looking forward to checking out the device closer to its Fall availability.
