My big question is, will it go well with my modded igrados (and the other grado phones I plan to buy...)? The SQ has to be stellar to beat samsung/cowon, but I am very hopeful. ]]>Aug 11th 2009 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
Don't be fooled, this isn't even in the same league as the iPhone/iPod touch, and it isn't even out yet. Why don't we give the folks in Cupertino a chance to intro their fall lineup before calling a winner, eh folks?]]>Aug 11th 2009 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/

A downfall in the popularity of cargo shorts?]]>Aug 11th 2009 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
Three of my family members and I have 2nd gen iPod touches or iPhone 3GSes (I hate that name so much :/ ) that we use for Nike+, and I have a $100 Bluetooth speaker from iHome that works with both my cell and iPod touch simultaneously (if I get/make a call, it pauses and restarts the music automatically on my iPod) and it sounds great. The internal speaker is actually louder than the first iPhone's, and it is higher quality (you couldn't reach into the dog whistle/mosquito noise spectrum on the first iPhone, and you can on the current iPhone and touch), I've actually owned both devices, and done side-by-side comparisons on multiple occasions.

Lastly, the browser is unmatched, and those extra 58 pixels in screen width that the iPod touch and iPhone has on the Zune is a huge dealbreaker if you plan on using it for anything but music (like the tens of thousands of apps on the app store).

I wouldn't go so far as to say the current iPod touch will meet everyone's needs best, but you are all judging the HD against your imaginary specs for the 3rd gen touch. It's completely uninformed speculation on one unannounced product amplified by your own anti-Apple bias vs. the media whore that is the Zune HD. Can nobody see anything wrong with that?]]>Aug 11th 2009 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
I think Microsoft will need to rely on xbox360 and Media center integration to move potential ipod upgraders to it's platform. The lack of video recording/microphone and a PDA grade OS will give Apple a big advantage in certain apps. On the other side, Zune has xbox360/MCE integration, better games, and better form factor/UI. This is the first credible threat to the Touch since it's release. It should be exciting!]]>Aug 11th 2009 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
The ZuneHd has less pixels width because it has a smaller screen, but the screen is widescreen unlike the itouch. The web browser appears to be awesome on the ZuneHD as well, it looks very similar to the webkit version of safari on the ipod touch. I am not assuming anything except that apple will continue with their closed market/system and bad codec support and sound quality ( I meant through headphones more than the speaker). See you are locked into the apple system and you can't get out without a ton of hassle, for me it is the opposite. I will go and compare the new itouch and the ZuneHD side by side when they come out, and review them honestly and fairly. Does that make you feel better? ]]>Aug 11th 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
Yeppers. And for the record, I'm with you in thinking that the sound quality will be the same. Now if only the rest of the people here were as level-headed as you... Seems like they hate on people for even owning Apple products these days ;.;]]>Aug 11th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
You're a donkey. Just do what I did get a 16GB flash drive and save movies there and play them over at a friends house via USB on their Xbox 360/Playstation 3/HDTV w/ built in USB (many samsungs include this)/Blu-ray player/DVD Player or connect their computer to their HDTV via a VGA cable (allowing you 1080i and even 1080p depending).

If your friends have none of the above then I think it's time for new friends. Go on a man-date.]]>Aug 12th 2009 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 12th 2009 2:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
Well i mostly bring movies to my girlfriends and she doesnt have an xbox or anything other than an old dvd player and HD comcast cable box/dvr hooked up to her 36 inch samsung lcd and her laptop overheats as it is so hooking that up to the tv isnt really in the picture. And it would just be overall more convenient to just bring over a zune in my pocket and be able to plug in 1 cable and be good to go.]]>Aug 12th 2009 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 12th 2009 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 12th 2009 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
It's not quite as easy as plugging in an HDMI cable; you need to plug it into the dock in order to view 720p movies.

I assume this is due to a technical limitation.]]>Aug 12th 2009 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
That "technical limitation" is that the Zune does not have a HDMI port built in so it uses the dock to provide that. I imagine the accessory market will quickly have a HDMI cable that snaps directly into the Zune (just like the charging cable does) and/or a Zune to HDMI adaptor (similar to the DVI to HDMI adaptors you can pick up on MonoPrice for $3). The dock will not be the only way to get HDMI out, I guaranty it.]]>Aug 12th 2009 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 12th 2009 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
What about the argument that it has more features? I hate to be the guy who always stands up for what other people despise, but you don't seem to be considering all the factors involved in the choice of a product, and instead are focusing on hating things that you feel are popular or common.

If you're choosing to be a minority to try and prove that you are different than the iPod users then fine, but don't be a such jerk about it :/.]]>Aug 12th 2009 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 12th 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/lucky bastard i started school this week x.x]]>Aug 11th 2009 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/Aug 11th 2009 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/zune-hd-coming-september-15th-says-leaked-display-stand/
