Zune HD

The Zune HD is a Portable Media Player in the Zune product family by Microsoft released on September 15, 2009 in 16 and 32 GB capacities.

It utilizes a touchscreen interface for navigation and includes Wi-Fi for synchronization, access to the Zune Marketplace and Web browsing.

The Zune HD utilizes the Nvidia Tegra APX 2600 chip, allowing it to play 720p video through the optional HDMI Zune dock on a high-definition television.

Otherwise, content will be scaled down to 480 x 272 pixels on the player’s OLED screen.

Zune HD has been well received in the marketplace. Within a week of release, Best Buy, Dell, Amazon and Newegg reported the Zune HD had been sold out. It is unknown at this point when Zune HD will be spread to other markets such as Canada and the UK.
