Zune HD 32 GB Video MP3 Player (Platinum) This instant

This is the basics of what you get with the Zune HD
- It's a great music player in terms of visuals and music playback
- Nice looking video player despite it's small size. I don't see people watching a lot of videos on this device but the option of HD video output to an HDTV is what you want to go for
- HD radio which produces CD quality radio service. I tried it and it actually works.
- Internet surfing = Zune HD has a web browser. The browser is surprisingly good but again, with the Zune HD's size, the experience is not quite as favorable. If Microsoft makes another Zune HD with a bigger screen and export the web browser to it, the experiene will be magnified.

If you're looking for alternative to the iPod Touch which has apps, I suggest you hold off on buying the Zune HD for now. There are some basic apps like Weather and calculator but it's App store is not as vast as Apple. I suggest you buy this device mainly for being a music/video player and maybe a favorable internet browsing experience.

The Zune 4.0 software is a WAY better alternative to iTunes 9. The experience is just better overall. Browsing and listening to music is dull experience when compared to Zune 4.0 which has better visuals and a better music playing experience.

If you're looking for a strong alternative to the iPod Touch, Zune HD is as good as it gets. If you on the other hand, are looking for a PMP which has a vast apps store, i suggest you stick to iPod.

Overall, I think the Zune HD is better device for music loversGet more detail about Zune HD 32 GB Video MP3 Player (Platinum).
