exactly. i love my Zune 80. the sound quality is top notch and i love the interface. only reason i haven't upgraded to the ZuneHD is because i didn't want to downgrade my storage space but this is getting closer. even if i get a WP7S phone, i'll probably still buy a Zune mostly for the battery reasons. i mean my TP2 can play music (and pretty well too) but that battery would be drained in no time. just because a device CAN do something, doesn't mean it SHOULD.]]>Apr 1st 2010 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/Mar 31st 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/

Yeah, and why would anyone buy a ZuneHD when Microsoft has already made it clear that it won't be compatible with the Series 7 based ZuneHD 2.

This is just stupid of Microsoft. Other companies don't even really have to compete with Microsoft these days, they just do it to themselves.]]>Mar 31st 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/Mar 31st 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/Mar 31st 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/
I actually agree, but I've used the Zune HD on several occasions. I hate that you need to look at it to change the volume, and it needs to be more sensitive to swiping to different songs. Also I've always hated how the Zune's shuffle. I've owned nearly every type of Zune and have always disliked this about them.]]>Mar 31st 2010 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/Source for your accusations or shut the fuck up, honestly. One of the things they've been banging home CONSTANTLY during MIX was how you'd be able to use ~90% of the same code to port the games and apps from WP7S, to the PC, to the Xbox, and to the Zune.]]>Mar 31st 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/Mar 31st 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/

Zune HD is suddenly obsolete. Which makes me sad, but it's true.

Read the first reply, from Dave (an MS employee who frequently speaks on Zune related issues). The entirety of that article is a pure fabrication based on what Sally told Jim in a dark alleyway 3 weeks ago.

Also, to the Zune HD not having an App marketplace, anyone who purchases a device based on what the rumors say may be happening to it in the future is an utter fool. The Zune HD is the best PMP I've ever owned or used. Whatever development direction Microsoft takes with regard to future products isn't going to make my Zune HD any less awesome.]]>Mar 31st 2010 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/
I actually bought a zune before my iPod touch. Problem was that all our cars were pre wired for the iPod- play and charge and control. Couldn't do that with the zune. Also iPod was easier to download movies and games... comes in handy when you have a 3 year old!

My guess is that for most people an iPod is more convenient than a zune. That's if people like me are the majority :)]]>Mar 31st 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/Mar 31st 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/
I still don't understand why people are calling the device obsolete. It never really got much support to begin with, but has always excelled at doing what it does. It will continue to excel at what it does even after the HD2 comes out, but I'll be fine just getting a WP7S device to fulfill that void.]]>Mar 31st 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/64gb-zune-hd-launching-in-april-12th-for-350-current-models-ge/
Am I unhappy with the support (or lack thereof) for HD up until now by Microsoft? Yeah sure. I wish that it had more exposure outside of the US - I never understood that and wish it were explained to us. But it looks like "...the times they are a-changing..." and once the new HD2 comes to stores I'll be putting my HD on Craigslist and putting it towards a HD2. Why if the apps are backwards compatible?

I can't help myself. I like shiny black aluminum electronic gadgets.

As for the guy from Microsoft, nothing he said pointed to the fact that you'll be getting apps. He's just trying to walk back the comments that made everyone decide they were gonna wait for Zune HD2.
