Zune HD (16GB - black)
The Zune HD's brilliant OLED display, HD Radio tuner, long battery life, movie rentals, and subscription music integration finally give iPod expatriates something to shout about
You still can't use the Zune with a Mac, Marketplace purchases require "Microsoft Points," video format support is limited, audio quality lacks advanced controls, you'll need to purchase a dock accessory for HD video output, application and game ...
The Zune HD delivers one of the best portable music and video experiences money can buy. At a time when many people have shifted their focus to games and applications, providing a killer media experience may not be enough for potential Zune buyers.

Gorgeous multi-touch OLED screen. Intuitive user interface with sharp, good-looking graphics. Strong Web browser. Wireless music purchasing, downloading, and syncing. HD radio
Limited audio codec support. HD files are displayed in standard-def on the player—an optional dock is needed to view HD files on an HDTV or a PC. Very slim pickings in the App section of the Zune Marketplace
With a fantastic OLED touch screen, a top-notch Web browser, and a wireless music store, the Zune HD is the best PMP you can buy—that is, if you live outside the iTunes universe.

Zune HD
Try as it might, Microsoft has never been able to put a dent in Apple's marketshare for portable media players. The previous Zune players were pretty good, and the Zune desktop software finally got there after a few revisions, but neither one had the ...
It's also the first product to hit the market with Nvidia's Tegra APX 2600 system-on-chip, which packs a pair of ARM11 cores with lots of individual processors for audio and video encoding and decoding, 2D graphics, 3D graphics (with OpenGL ES 2.0 ...

Perfect
Given time there will be apps
The screen quality is awesome, deep blacks and clean, crisp colors. As expected from an OLED screen. The battery life is a LOT better than the previous generation zunes. Provided you hate Apple like me, there are no cons to this device
Lack of any substantial app library
Been Great to Date
Been good so far, good build quality, battery life, screen, audio quality, nice to look at. I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't need the additional functionality of the iPod Touch. Honestly though I'd have a hard time regularly using a player which isn...
This is coming from a guy who's had a iPod Touch since it basically came out. So first and foremost it is better the the touch. Touch is still good and has its upsides but...This will sound better, last longer on a charge and play sharp video with great b...
The zune software for your pc... More eye candy than itunes but the trade off it the functionality that you'd rather have at least the option to use. This won't have the 90 million 3rd party accessories and cases the ipod has. My local stores don't even c...
Darn good but not perfect
Microsoft needs to develop a customizable equalizer and open the device up for third party application development as well as rework the zune computer software. If all that is done this device will be getting a new review from me with a 5 egg rating.
Lets not beat around the bush the Nvidia Tegra processor makes this the most powerful portable media device on the market. The screen and interface are absolutely fantastic. It has a fair bit of functionality witch includes: Music, Movies, Pictures, HD Ra...
With the good comes the bad. The software that you put on your computer to sync the zune up is well bad, I'm not at all a fan of the interface or the theme, it takes forever to download video podcasts and doesn't seem to have the ability to eject the zune...
