Zune HD Comments and Concerns
The confirmed and previously circulated rumors about Microsoft's new device A.K.A. "Zune HD" appear to be true. This new device will tout a 3.3" screen with 480 x 272 OLED capacitative multitouch screen. It has hdmi output of 720p.
My qualms with this device are that it is not true HD output, which would be an interesting enhancement. Please Microsoft if you are going to have this be a direct competitor to the Ipod touch, do not falter on the design physically and software wise. Also as far as advertising goes do not advertise your montly services or Xbox live integration as a key feature, because then again you will falter. Instead try offering a new experience not seen on the IPod before.
Please do not implement a browser based off of the internet explorer framework until the standard version has no flaws. Instead use an opensource standard like what firefox is based off of.
Finally some advanced download features when browsing the web would be nice. My previous incarnations of Zunes had all faulty or would be faulty headphones and I really wish that either no headphones or some headphones that won't fail would be included. The sound also needs to be louder and more adjustable like the current ipods, that goes for contrast and brightness as well.
