A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
they are listening to what used to 99.1 HFS (station is now spanish music)! is this potential hope that the radio gods will bring HFS back to us DC'ites (other than between certain hours on an HD only channel)!?
But what about bluetooth? I commute by train, and I am just dang tired of catching the phone cord on the armrests. Also I have great bluetooth headphones that work with my Tilt, soon to be the HTC Touch Pro 2. So... while memory is an issue. The lack of stereo bluetooth, seems beyond silly to me.
try putting your cord down your shirt. it helps.
Because so many other music players support bluetooth? Give me a break.
I like that when you go into a Microsoft post, Microsoft is the only thing talked about by fans of Microsoft. When there is an Apple post on here, there is nothing but talk about Microsoft by Microsoft fans bad mouthing Apple. So next apple post, let all the ms fanboys not comment, since we have the same decency for you.
Paul just isn't here yet derrik.
so there has been no one on here talking about how this will no over throw the ipod??
Windows makes the best OS in the world, and the marketshare proves that.
meant that inreply to the "i" guy. thanks, primitive comment system
I'll be damned if the Zune HD isn't a multimedia device. Plus, I have enough cameras. Two on my phone, 2 on my DSi and one point and shoot. The cameras coming to the nano and touch are just a gimmick. Macintosh is a gimmick in general.
Barring a major hardware flaw, this is a must have for me.
Can't wait to get one. Though I'm pondering on waiting, but who am I kidding. I loved my zune 30, and zune 80... Was/am thinking about getting the blue 120, not sure though.
Sign me up, definitely buying one.
now if only they had a release date and price I'd be able to figure out how many pay checks it'll take to buy this bahimith
I think I want a sliver one ... but I don't know just yet...
I'd really love to develop for this. You can already make games and apps for the regular Zunes with XNA Game Studio, so I'm really hoping the framework receives an update for the Zune HD.
It's definitely sexy, but a shame there's no phone. Do people still even buy devices like that without a phone? What's the point?
dedicated devices are usually better.
How much battery life do get with a phone when playing music all day?
How is the sound quality on these phones by the way?
Aside from the fact that the buying public associates the Zune to that of fecal matter, Microsoft continues to press on. Having lost untold millions of dollars with this sad attempt to "me too" the iPod and now the iPod Touch, Microsoft presses on. If not for their automatic money generating cash cows in place, this 80s inpired device with it's misleading HD moniker and visible screws would have been terminated many quarters ago.
Don't feed the troll.
Can't wait for this!
Idiots. It's the iPod Touch 'Killer' not the iPhone killer. And I Highly doubt it'll be doing any killing, the dimensions aren't even better than the Touch... I Knew Redmond was gonna Copy/Paste eventually, but at least be a little original... Jeeze Redmond.
You... really shouldn't be making copy/paste jokes when defending the iPhone.
Did Apple cope/paste HTC when creating the iPhone even when HTC were releasing the touch brand?
Did they copy/paste when they took the touch brand for their own?
Did they copy/paste when they stole the iPhone name?
Sigh...
That must mean that Windows is the best OS in the world, so the market share proves that.
Make it a phone and I'm sold. Why would I want a smartphone in one pocket, and a nice but bulky media player in the other when one can do everything. It's a good looking device but I have no pocket room for it along with my car keys, and my phone, and headphones, and little cash.
How much is it going to cost? I'd love to buy one, but I'm short on cash and need a good reason to buy it on day one, preferably a 250 or lower (200?) price point.
Also, will it come with a much, much better software update? There's so much 'lag' and general annoyances. Come on guys, just copy iTunes and then add your own flair.
This is absolutley gorgeous. I need a towel to clean up all this drool. wow absolutley stunning. They made us wait a long time but looks like it is well worth it. Can't wait.
SWEET! MATTE BLACK AWESOMENESS. I don't see that much on an iPod do I?
I really wanna trade my iPod touch in for this. :D
