    Hey guys. I've been thinkin' about this thing called the Zune HD and do you think I should get it? It's gonna have a Windows 7 web-browser, connectivity to Xbox Live (I don't care :p) and I've heard a rumor that Bungie is working on a Halo title for it. So, do you think I should get this or a 64gb iPod Touch? I need some opinions.
    Cheers.

    You're developing for Apple's platform. You might actually wanna have one.

    Ooookay. :confused: What do you mean? I know you're being sarcastic but why? I'd still use my iPod Touch for testing purposes.

    Oh, true. Forget that statement, then. I thought you were totally abandoning the iPod Touch wagon, but now that I think of it, that wouldn't make sense if you still have a 2G.

    Meh, I'm looking forward more to Zii Egg, and that's around 6 months away. After Vista, I don't trust Microsoft at all.

    The only reason why I really want a Zune HD is because of the radio. I wanted Apple to bring Radio sooooo badly, but no Mr. Cheap Ass decided not to.:(

    They seriously need some competition. If you take a look at the 1G and the 3G, the only major differences are size, volume button, and bluetooth. I was so hoping for a camera. At least we got a processing upgrade.

    No one knows yet. All the manufacturing and licensing is done, it's just a matter of whether Creative Labs themselves are gonna distribute it or if they'll sell the product off. I'm hoping for the former.

    Here's a link with a couple hands-on videos.

    Don't think it will be. It's still in the dev stage. Some estimates believe it'll come out in the first quarter of 2010. Bad timing if that's true.

    Never give Mircrosoft a second chance.

    Anyways, if the Zune HD had a camera I would get it but since it doesn't I won;t be getting one. I'll be holding our for the Zii Egg or iPod Touch 4G

    What exactly make the ZiiEgg good? From the video it just looks like an ipod knock-off without the appstore.
