microsoft-zune-hd_1 (1) It seems now that iPod will finally have a competitor that is going to shake it out of its slumber. The latest Zune HD released from Microsoft might do just that. The Zune HD boasts of a 3.2” OLED screen, HD radio, HD video out, Wi-Fi,  and off course the much needed synchronization applications.  With the addition of HD video out users will be able to download High Definition video content on their devices for a visually enthralling experience.  A separate dock will also enable viewing on a TV set. Zune is available in 16 GB and 32 GB versions thus making it possible to carry our digital lives in our pockets. The screen as expected is touch sensitive obviating the old touch pad found in previous models. The device is retailing at $220 and $290 for the 16 GB and 32 models respectively. The IE built from Windows Mobile 6.5 is known to handle websites flawlessly. Twitter and FaceBook applications are in the offing and are expected by November. Zune is sure to spruce up the competition with iPod which presently enjoys 73% of the market share as compared to Zune which has just 2% share. (Source: NPD www.npd.com )
