iTouch competitor to be released on September 15th!

Many of us are anticipating the arrival of Zune HD to be mind blowing and extraordinary. Why wouldn’t we be with its outstanding features including:

  • Crystal clear HD Radio with wireless syncing
  • 10 hours of High-Def playback on your Zune.
  • Multi-touch navigation with 16:9 OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display
  • 720p support for when you would like to watch movies, music videos and tv shows through your Zune to your HDTV.
  • Surf your browser anywhere, anytime with Wireless Wi-Fi

Microsoft have made the next step in the upcoming appearance of the Zune HD in September by revealing the above features, pricing and that it is available to reserve right now! You can pre-order your Zune HD from US retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart if you are that anxious ! For more information about the product features and pre-ordering, feel free to visit Zune’s website.

Pricing

Speculations of Amazon and Best Buy were completely true and accurate, not surprisingly. The 16GB Zune media player will cost $220 (£132.50) and the 32GB Zune platinum model will cost $290 ( £174.80.) In addition to the pricing, Microsoft have revealed there will be five contrasting colours the portable device will be available in and the opportunity of having your name engraved in it with a choice of ten expert designs!

The big clash: Apple iTouch Vs Zune HD

There seems to be not really much in it in terms of differences in features between these two portable super heavyweights! For sake of argument, below are some of the features that the current iTouch contains:

  • Touchscreen navigation
  • Anytime Wireless Wi-Fi
  • 576P HD video output

However, in these early days, the Zune HD has the upperhand with numerous advanced features in comparison to the iTouch including better gaming experience and OLED display, which can make all the difference at the end of the day! But then again, remember Apple are going to release their new iTouch in early September with rumours of awesome fresh feature like GPS navigation and a camera!

It’s a very hard decision to make! Both devices are just fantastic in their own ways, and consumers making decisions now are definitely narrow minded!

Want to pre-order now? Visit Amazon now!

Who do you think will come out on top? The new iTouch that Apple have up their sleeves or the staggering Zune HD which is sure to be a big hit straight away! Please feel free to tell us your opinion below.

    wow thats nice article :)

  2. The (free) traffic update feature has already saved me time on several trips. Interface is intuative, love the ability to associate my own pictures with “Favourite” locations. My son especially loves the “Black Pearl” as the ‘car’ icon.

    Highly recommended.
