First, I want to clairify that I say the zune HD is not the best microcomputer(itouch) but that it is the best media player in its field. While in some ways the zune HD competes with the itouch it more specifically targets the rest of the mp3 player market.
The touch screen is just as sensitive as a G1 or iphone would be but its 3.3" OLED (organic light emitting display)screen gives it beautiful video playback with true black and beautiful color, although the screen is a little on the small side. Its browser works fairly good and can render pages correctly on most websites, (gizmodo, Engadget,politico,ect..) and will hopefully only get better development with time.
HD radio increases overall quality and signal strength of FM radio for those who are die-hard FM listeners, and the few games and apps. that are available are of the highest quality and FREE. ON the software side the potential uses for the zune pass as well as great podcast integration and mixview and smart dj round out the best music experience of any service available today.
The build quality is top notch and the glass, aluminum construction make the device light but strong. It has a unique brushed aluminum feel thats unique to zune. Aside from the screen this thing could take a heavy fall on its side or back.
The optional dock also makes it a great media center and playing HD 720p content from the device is very nice. The interface is smooth and videos look great. Wireless sync is very handy also.
Overall this is a well rounded device that incorporates, radio, video, podcasts, and music into a small and lovely device. Anyone who isnt strongly craving an apple branded device should look into the zune community because its unlike another music experience (itunes, rapsody, ect) that I have tried before. While the zune HD isnt the computing powerhouse (apps, games) that the ipod line is, the promise for future applications, browser support and rich multimedia abilities make it a strong contender. I bought this thing on the 15th and I Im never looking back.
