The new Zune from Microsoft was announced a while back now. I'm just posting about it now because after having enough time to think about it, I want the Zune HD more then an iPod touch.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I hate Apple. I hate the ultra trendy feel, I hate the price, I hate the stuck up people that buy Apple products (granted jerks can buy any product, it just seems there is a higher jerk to regular person ratio in the Apple fanbase). But most of all I hate that you can't right click. And with all that said, there is very little that I want more then an iPhone. A touch phone with tons of apps and easy to use interface that uplinks with your music library seamlessly (I'm assuming you use iTunes). What is not to love, besides AT&T?
An iPod touch is just an iPhone that can't make phone calls (there are some more differences but I digress). So given just the choice of a portable music player, the iPod touch should win outright. Not with the Zune HD in town. I could go over all the specs of the new Zune but I think I'll just link them. Microsoft might have a real winner with the new Zune, especially if they can integrate the Zune HD with its other products (Windows 7, Xbox 360, Windows Live, etc.). I really hope they make the Zune HD into a phone. This would allow me to integrate all my entertainment and communication products across one platform, if Microsoft can pull it off right.
Here is a hands on preview:
