ZuneHD

We'll admit we've grown a little tired of the whole "Zune phone" back and forth – is the Zune software coming to Windows Mobile? Will there be a full-on Zune phone? Someone says yes, someone says no. But it's looking more and more like we may be seeing much more of the Zune in the future.

And with that in mind, feast your eyes on the purported ZuneHD, as spied by wmpoweruser. And the reported specs are enough to make any WinMo fanboy foam at the mouth.

  • Capacitive touchscreen (!)
  • Multitouch OLED capacitive touchscreen (!!)
  • Multitouch OLED capacitive touchscreen with a 16:9 aspect ratio (!!!)
  • TV-out (and possibly HDMI)
  • HD radio (as in FM tuner).
  • 16- and 32-gig capacity.
  • Multitouch-supported Internet browser.
  • High-def media playback.
  • Wireless sync.
  • Rumors of a Tegra processor.

Anything there you wouldn't want to have in a Windows phone? And there's no mistaking the resemblance to a certain HTC touchscreen phone we're expecting real soon. As for the ZuneHD, WMPU speculates that we'll see it this fall and that it will also be available outside the United States.

The question still remains: Is this a sign of things to come for Windows Mobile 7? Sound off in the comments.

Lets hope and pray this is Windows mobile 7. I know they say 2010, but if they released this with the winmo 7 name I would be over pleased.

I'm in all the way. I think the Zune hardware is much better than the iPod. I think iTunes is the best software for an MP3 player bar none. If MS can get the Zune software right.... lookout iPod Touch.

Lol iTunes is better than Zune software?

There is no way the itunes software is better than the zune desktop software. i hate that itunes crap. it the most resource music app. its runs terrible on computers that the zune software runs great on. i have a loaded xps laptop and its takes about a year and the half to find the songs on my network and when it does find them it never gets all the songs. terrible.

MediaMonkey is wayyyyy better than iTunes and it doesn't delete your files in your ipod.

More memory please!!!!

16 & 32 gig is not much for a huge song library AND nearly HD movies and videos.

Otherwise, this sounds really nice

hahahaha nice, now I can get rid of my Ipod Touch. and this looks sexy, it sort of looks like the HTC Touch Diamond 2.
