MS Zune has been fighting an uphill battle ever since it made debut in late 2006. While the PMP hasn't even made a dent on iPod's market share, it won't stop MS from pouring more cash into reviving Zune's lackluster sales. (And you can't really rely on special edition Zune to boost sales.) So, what's up MS' sleeve this time? Redmond has just confirmed and spilled some info on Zune HD. Since anything less than a multi-touch big-screen PMP will be a total flop, Zune HD will come with a 3.3" 16:9 OLED displaying 480x272 resolution. And it will be on of the few PMPs that can play 720p (likely WMV HD). We were also told to expect a portable version of Internet Explorer to take advantage of built-in Wi-Fi. Zune HD will bring digital radio as well as high-def video out through an optional dock. Perhaps the most important news here is Zune HD's integration with Xbox LIVE video marketplace, which makes perfect sense as console users still have no means of enjoying the purchased and rented video content other than on their big screen TVs at home. Zune HD is going to make a lot of 17 million Xbox fans happy if the integration works as expected. MS is however keeping its mouth shut about bringing Xbox Arcade games on the Zune HD and about the PMP's pricing. Guess we have to wait til Fall. About Everything USB
