    New ZUNE HD... Announced with XBL Capabilities....

    Looks like I'll be upgrading my 30GB once this comes-out....

    Introducing Zune HD

    Zune HD is the next iteration of the Zune device family and brings a new level of listening and viewing experiences to the portable media player category.

    • Zune HD comes with a built-in HD Radio receiver so users can listen to higher-quality sound than traditional radio on the go. Users also will have access to the additional song and artist data broadcast by HD Radio stations as well as additional channels from their favorite stations multicasting in HD. If you don’t like the song playing on your station’s HD channel, switch to its HD2 or HD3 channels for additional programming.
    • The bright OLED touch screen interface allows users to flip through music, movies and other content with ease, and the 16:9 widescreen format display (480x272 resolution) offers a premium viewing experience on the go.
    • The HD-compatible output lets Zune HD customers playback supported HD video files from the device through a premium high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) audiovisual docking station (sold separately) direct to an HD TV in 720p.*
    • Zune HD will include a full-screen Internet browser optimized for multitouch functionality.
    • Zune HD is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing for instant streaming to the device from the more than 5 million-track Zune music store.

    Zune Service Expands to New Platform:

    Zune will be a premium partner in the Xbox LIVE Video Marketplace, bringing an exciting catalog of TV and film to the platform. Zune will occupy the first slot within the Xbox user interface in the Xbox LIVE Video Marketplace, exposing the Zune brand experience to millions of new consumers for the first time. At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) next week, attendees will see firsthand how Zune integrates into Xbox LIVE to create a game-changing entertainment experience.

      I'll be getting one, even for the HD radio and wi-fi capabilities alone. Plus another thing i can stream HD content with.

        I see this taking off for MS. I am still disappointed that neither company has anything more than 32GB flash players releasing. We know with the Zune's it won't happen this fall, but still some hope that Apple does.

                Looks pretty awesome, I already have an ipod touch, but I'll keep an eye on it.

                  I read on another blog site that MS was rumored to knock off $70 if you trade in your 30gb Zune.. either way I'm getting one.

                    I'm good with my Touch for another year at least, but this does up the ante in the battle. The radio is a nice addition, there are times I'd like to be able to listen to the radio on the iPod. Will be interesting to see if MS can offer enough extras and options to where the entire package is better than iTunes/iPod.

                      The release date is looking like the 2nd week of September. I'd guess they will either announce the price next week or wait and see what Apple's pricing is when they announce the new Touch in June.

                        my guess would be around $250-299

                          No 64GB = no purchase for me.

                            It looks nice, but I'd have a hard time trading in my 120gb Zune for it.

                              I'm sorry, but I'm missing what the capacity is.

                              Also, came across this tidbit while hunting for info. I'm sure it's not entirely new news to some here:
