The Zune HD will also feature lots of HD specs like HD-compatible video, full-screen Internet browsing, HD Radio receiver, OLED touchscreen and Wi-Fi in a single player. In addition, the Tegra processor will also give an outstanding battery life.

The Tegra processor has eight independent processors such as; an HD video processor, a graphics processor, an audio processor, and two ARM cores. The Zune uses a choice of a technologies (NVIDIA nPower technology) of the Tegra to offer a never before visual experience.

Crafted for X-gen mobile computing devices, the Nvidia Tegra processor, without much power use, claims to provide high performance.

The Microsoft Zune HD is now available for pre-order.

So let’s get to know about its glaring specs.

Screen: The latest Zune HD comes included with OLED Screen, whereas iPod Touch’s X-gen makes use of LCD. Quite anew to the mobile market, OLED boasts of less power usage for a longer battery life. I may have to provide the screen technology and maybe even the battery life to Microsoft’s Zune HD. Aspect ratio is complemented, but resolution and screen size is a little larger on the iPod Touch still.

Features: Wifi is even then complemented as the Zune always has come up with Wifi, but the big break for Microsoft is the HD Radio. Lots of have been on the lookout for an FM receiver internally in their iPod as I have been doing but Apple didn’t ever answer. Microsoft has stepped up the request and brought about one more USP (unique selling point) with HD Radio.

Software: Talking about the software that in my own view makes or mar a Media Player, I can say without beating about the bush that Microsoft for the initial six months won’t be equal to the software on the iPod Touch.

The Appstore developer community size is astonishing and Microsoft has got a lot up its sleeves to do if they like to vie. Zune HD Screenshots gives the impression of sprinting a revised Zune OS which is expected but according to the grapevines, this is supposed to be the latest aspect of Windows Mobile.

Is a Zune Phone expected to come?

Pricing: Taking full advantage of shining publicly, Microsoft is expected to price the Zune HD $99 not more than the iPod Touch 2g’s equal capacity.

But still, Apple, according to me, has a history of quality over quantity. Yes, this could damage the sales of iPod Touch, but I predict, Apple still will be the king of Media Player world in a year.

Plus, don’t forget the slated (June 8th) launch of WWDC. You can never know what Apple has to wrap off, which could just up-show Microsoft again.

In my prior post, there was no word on Microsoft’s much-whispered Zune HD’s pricing details, but it was hinted at the same time the product will be rolled out in fall. However, now the Redmond-based giant has confirmed the launch of its much-rumored Zune HD. A Microsoft Guru – Paul Thurrott, on Zune Forum, is reported to have said that the Zune HD is slated to be shipped on September 5, 2009.

I don’t know how Paul got hinted for this secretive release date as no official announcement has been made by the company.

The buzz around the tech-world hints that the company may pre-pone the plan to introduce the much-awaited media player. So, possibly, it’s good news for the consumers who are in quest of the device to hit the shelves – pre-fall relates to the assumed availability period of the shipment. Even there is no word as to its pricing.

Let’s keep aside the indefinite details and note down the definite ones. The Zune HD comes featured with a 3.3-inch OLED touchscreen and gives support to Wi-Fi and HD Radio. Users can use it to play 720p HD video with the help of a docking station accessory.

Plus, I will let you know of its official availability details as and when it comes.

The Zune HD, an enhanced and advanced version of the Zune devices, claims to provide a premium listening and viewing experience. The device has a HD Radio receiver,allowing users augmented quality of sound and extra programs. The PMP (portable media player) will be introduced in the US market during this fall.

Enrique Rodriguez, corporate VP of the Microsoft TV, Video and Music Business Group, said, “The Zune music player has a lead role to play in the whole Zune experience, and it is matter of feeling proud that we are progressing and broadening our offer further than the device. Offering on Microsoft’s hooked entertainment vision, this news comes like a decisive moment for Zune as it brags of brining best video content and cross-platform experiences to living rooms worldwide.”

Zune HD’s OLED touchscreen lets users navigate through the contents easily. The screen has resolution of 480 x 272 pixels and 16:9 aspect ratio. The Zune HD also has high-def video output system, allowing users to connect with the media player through a best HDMI audiovisual docking station direct to an HD TV. You separately need to purchase this docking wire .

The media player will also have Internet browser, designed specifically for multi-touch functionality. This Wi-Fi-based player also allows instant streaming of tracks from the Zune music store.

There is no word as to the pricing details of the much-awaited Microsoft Zune HD.
