I'm not going to lie: When I was like five years old, I thought for a brief time that the United States was the world. I saw a map of the US in my classroom and simply assumed that it was a world map.

Ironically, my parents are from India. It should've clicked that they're not from the US but from the other side of the globe. Luckily they soon got me a globe and I was no longer ignorant.]]>Aug 13th 2009 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/Aug 13th 2009 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/

Unlike Palm, Microsoft probably isn't dumb enough to try something like that. However, I suspect the chances of it interacting with your iTunes Library at any level above simply moving it into the Zune's own software is zero. Microsoft wants Apple's market, not to simply play nicely with it.]]>Aug 13th 2009 3:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/

Could the engineers at Microsoft get in touch with Palm and ask how they engineered the iTunes sync please?

if you've purchased songs through itunes, they will be tagged correctly, and will sync with the zune software if you point it at your itunes music folder.

the zune software is much nicer to use - albeit, that's a matter of opinion. :-)]]>Aug 13th 2009 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/
You don't NEED databases for managing large amounts of information, you can simply use index cards.

Sorry, but drag-and-drop is simply unmanageable unless you have less than 200 tracks in your whole collection of music. Smart playlists FTW.]]>Aug 13th 2009 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/
Oh really? What makes you think that I want to manually manage my music library, not to mention the rest of the data that goes on a modern PMP?

I wouldn't be surprised if MS cut pricing for the ZuneHD fairly quick to $199 for the 16GB model. $219 is really an odd pricing point, and imo is just a setup to see how Apple would react.]]>Aug 13th 2009 3:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/Aug 13th 2009 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/Aug 13th 2009 3:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/Aug 13th 2009 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/
With all due respect, I've heard those "vague statements" before and that still hasn't resulted in anything concrete. I'm not holding my breath until there is an official statement on the matter, such as "we will release the Zune HD in Country B on Date Y". Until then it sounds more like this is something they are thinking about, which I would be stunned if they weren't, but still doesn't explain why it hasn't happened yet. How difficult is this? Everyone else seems to manage it and yet this is something that is clearly holding the platform back.]]>Aug 13th 2009 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/zune-hd-lands-september-15th-up-for-pre-order-today/
