Sorry for no narration, my allergies are kicking my voice's [...]
This is my first shot at a video review. Be nice. If you'd like to read instead, here you go:

from earlier today:
I have unboxed my new ZUNE HD 16GB.
I have updated my Zune as prompted upon connecting it.
I am noticing that in the new Zune Marketplace, some apps and games are already available - hey, all of those cool apps for the touch and iPhone didn't show up instantaneously you know!
I will be upfront and tell you I simply don't have time to review every facet of this device's offerings, nor do I have time to do the same for the new Zune software.
I'm doing this so that you get an honest experience versus a factless rant.
It is my guess that most people have never really actually played with the Zune software so I will try to document it as best I can.
I prefer products that are alternatives to Apple but I don't specifically avoid Apple. If IBM was making the Zune HD, I would have wanted one just the same.

I will do bullets here and if you have questions, post them, I'll try to answer them.

* packaged nicely. It was like opening a secret treasure chest
* includes ear buds (nothing fancy, actually they are same as what came with my Zune 8GB)
* includes sync/charge cable. Same connectors as my Zune 8GB cable. Which means I likely will be able to use my existing Zune dock
* Downloaded the Zune 4.0 software this morning.
* Connected Zune to computer. Asked me to confirm software update. Message on screen said device was at 4.0 and it would update it to 4.1. It did and it did it with no issues.
* APPS. Yes, APPS. Not many, only a few for now, like Weather and Calculator.
* GAMES. Yes, for now; Sudoku, Space Battle 2 (Non-HD Zunes had Space Battle 1), Chess, etc. You know, the basics for now.
* Device is charging so I can't play with it yet. The protective sticker on the Zune HD said, "Charge for 30 minutes before using". That is what I am doing.
* Zune 4.0 Marketplace and software are very nice. Not insanely different from the 3.0 marketplace but obvious updates include: Apps (games are here), DJ SmartMix feature, the software works faster, and more. Also the nifty little mini player feature.
* Mini player - as stated, its nifty. Click the little icon in the Zune software, and the music player mode comes up. Watch my video when it is ready.
* No issues so far. Some items like the Social (this is where you can befriend other Zune users), Profile, and earlier today the Marketplace, have been randomly unavailable for a few moments at a time. Nothing annoying. Quite honestly all of my music is on a computer I don't have here right now, so I will wait to connect this to that one so I can sync my music, and update my profile and social info.Get more detail about Zune HD 32 GB Video MP3 Player (Platinum).
