Microsoft is about to release the latest incarnation of their portable music player, the Zune HD. It features a large touch screen that covers almost the entire front face of the device — much like the iPod Touch.
The Zune HD comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio OLED screen which should be ideal for watching HD movies on the go. It also features an HD radio, a web browser and can output video to HDTV.
The 16GB Zune HD is $220 and the 32GB model is $290. They will be available only in the United States starting September 15. Microsoft also offers Zune Pass, which allows unlimited music downloads for a monthly fee.
The Zune HD is Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s iPod Touch. The iPod Touch is over a year old and received just a minor revision last week. So well how do these two stack up against each other? Good question — I’ll add a new post comparing the two models after the Zune is officially announced tomorrow. In the mean time, here is one of Microsoft’s promotional videos of the Zune HD:
