Microsoft Zune HD Video Demo
You can now see the Microsoft Zune HD in action in the following video! Last week we reported that the Microsoft Zune HD had been announced after much speculation over the months as to what it might actually encompass as a device. Some of the wilder ideas such as it being a portable Xbox gaming device or it being a Zune mobile phone to compete with Apple’s media player/mobile phone, the iPhone – as we saw these were pretty wide of the mark.
However, what the Microsoft Zune HD has delivered on is what looks like a fairly decent effort at a mp3/media playing device, it may not have the big-name and reputation of the iPod, but what it does do is show that there are still areas in which Apple can be bettered!
In the following video, you can see the OLED display in action, larger image/album art thumbnails than the iPods provide, faster screen flipping when the motion sensors detect you’ve turned the device.
The Zune HD certainly looks like a well designed device with an equally good interface, but it remains to be seen whether it can make a dent into Apple’s dominance, especially when there’s no news if and when we’ll ever see them outside the US.

Some people thought that Zune would be the ipod killer but I guess it never happenned. It’s good to see some competition though, especially in the high definition field. I think sony has a better shot at HD handheld devices than Microsoft.. we will see
