Zune HD’s releasing date has been announced and it is coming in what is considered to be Apple’s month that is September! Microsoft has announced the date officially and Zune HD is all set to release on 15th September. Apple holds a keynote in September every month and announces its products every year and it is much expected that Apple would announce the new version of iPod so this year we are going to have a one on one competition between both the players by the top players in the market. Microsoft that had some failures in the past regarding Zune has came back quite well and Zune HD looks quite good in the previews and its features and dynamics are good as well on other hand Apple’s iPod is already at top of the charts and famous worldwide so lets see if Microsoft is able to break Apple’s No 1 streak and make its way in the market of portable music players.
The Zune HD’s browser is optimized for the touch screen with an onscreen keyboard, but there’s no word on whether it will be capable of streaming Flash media (used by sites such as YouTube and Pandora), a capability that is currently lacking in the Safari browser for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Microsoft also announed that it woulod offer online video download from its market place. Zune is also the first Mp3 player to offer HD(high defination video output).
OLED display, HD radio, and high-definition video playback (using an optional dock accessory). The Zune HD will be the first Zune to include Internet Explorer web browser as it offers WiFi technology. The Zune HD’s browser is optimized for the touch screen with an onscreen keyboard.
With the above capabilities Zune can be a contender for iPod but we can’t ignore Apple’s surprising skills that have surprised us in the form of iPhone and other products so lets wait till September and we will know what both the giants are cooking. One thing is for sure that September is going to be an interesting month for all of us and we will be covering all the buzz for all of you.
