Link: Here comes the Zune HD

by Jeremy on September 15, 2009

Well, the much hyped release of the Zune HD is here.  It is a serious shot at the bow of the Apple iPod ship that currently dominates the water.  It is nice to see that real competition is causing so much innovation in this market.

Zune HD Available Today; apps and games coming soon.

I really wonder what the adoption rate of this new device will be and what it will mean for the next set of innovations in the market.  What do you think about new Zune HD??

    Zune HD looks pretty cool. I’ll admit the first generation of Zune players didn’t live up to the hype that even I bought into, so this will be an interesting release. To me the strength of this one will be the HD stuff. As far as the apps, games, etc – there’s no way they’ll overtake Apple on that stuff. In that realm, Zune is totally a follower of Apple, not an innovator. But I’ll give them credit for HD.

    Thanks for sharing the link!

    Dave,
    I completely agree that it will be interesting to see how this release goes. The Zune definitely didn’t live up to the hype (I have one). I am hoping that Microsoft recognizes that it was pretty short of the goal on the last one and steps it up a little. Real competition could really push innovation in the market.
