Actually, it probably will have lossless audio support, even if it is just WMA Lossless. All previous Zunes have had support for it, so I can only assume that the HD will support it as well.



On another note, I'm really excited for the Zune HD, especially if there's a 64 GB version. I'd replace my Zune 80.]]>Jun 26th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/Jun 26th 2009 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/Jun 26th 2009 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/
No, the iTouch priced at $299.00 for the 16GB is a fail!]]>Jun 26th 2009 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/
Yeah, the $299 Apple is charging for the 16GB touch certainly killed their market share.

But, you're right $50 less is a ripoff. ]]>Jun 26th 2009 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/
Especially since the iPod Touch will probably get bumped to 32/64GB at current (if not cheaper) prices.

At first glance of the title, I thought the 64GB would be $250, and I got all excited. At this rate, 64GB will probably be around $400, which will probably match iPod Touch, unless Apple pulls a fast one on pricing. ]]>Jun 26th 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/Jun 26th 2009 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/Jun 26th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/

Personally I have something like 100GB of music. And podcasts. And TV shows. And movies. I'm using an iPod Classic because of that. I'll switch to Flash when we hit 100GB or so probably.

And lets not go all crazy with the pricing. I can buy 32GB Flash SD cards at retail for $67. A 64GB model shouldn't cost more than $150-$200 more than a 16GB model. Period. It doesn't have to cost $600. And that's with flash prices TODAY. At RETAIL.]]>Jun 26th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/Jun 26th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/+1 For you because I never thought about the spinning HDD to cause problems with the capacitive screen.

@Fanfoot
+1 Agree, I love my Zune 80 and plan on upgrading, but I need atleast 32G and if there's a 64G priced within the stratosphere, I'll get that one! I feel like Microsoft should just have the 32G & 64G and price it at the same point of the iTouches that are 16G & 32G, respectfully, because you have to believe the iTouches are getting storage bumps later this year.

And can anyone tell me the different between SDHC cards and SSD? They're both flash, so is it the same? ]]>Jun 26th 2009 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/zune-hd-rumor-mill-249-720p-movies-64gb-model-down-the-road/
You'll never get an answer on this site by asking a legitimate question. You should phrase it like:

"SDHC is just as good as SSD, so why so expensive?"
