So, i've been waiting for this thing to drop ever since i heard about cuz i've always been a die hard zune fan.....the ipod touch came out and i had to put my zune away for one and i've been waiting forever for the zune hd....well i went out last night at midnight to walmart and picked one up and after a little playing i'll give my review.

Out of the box nothing is useable except for the one video it comes with and the two pictures....you have to sync with your computer and update it before anything can be used. Once that is done though this device is awesome. The device is only about .02 mm thicker than the ipod touch and it is definitely less wide but the screen is only .2 inches smaller than the ipod touch. The interface and touch screen is amazingly responsive and resilient. The OLED display is just amazing and everything on it looks crisp and clean. Navigation is very simple, easy and just plain looks better than the ipod touch. It has a sexy screen saver that scrolls the artist/song across the screen. As an MP3 player the Zune HD is hands down way better than the ipod touch in functionality and flair. Where it is a little lacking is the internet browser. The internet browser is fine and works well with auto rotation but the onscreen keyboard is significantly smaller than the ipod touch's and is a little difficult to type fast on but you can hold and drag across it and it will zoom on the letter you are pushing so I made very few spelling errors. As stated the app store only has about 8 apps available right now, all free, but it is way easier to download them vs the ipod touch because you don't have to enter a password at all to download. The FM tuner is awesome and very clear, my first experience with HD radio :-D Overall I will give the Zune HD an 7/10. It would get a 10/10 if you didn't have to update the software out of the box, the app store was more developed at its launch and if the on screen keyboard was a bit bigger but those issues can be easily fixed with a software update and I am definitely glad that I purchased one of these baby's. I definitely recommend this if you want a sleek and sexy device that will definitely get you laid :-D
