Zune HD also features new casual games and non-gaming functionality such as a calculator and an MSN Weather application. Later this year, Zune plans to release free applications such as Twitter for Zune and Facebook for Zune, in addition to fun 3-D games such as "Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition," "Vans Sk8: Pool Service" and "Audiosurf(TM) Tilt."

To the Zune fanboys and iPod fanboys:

Can't we all just get along?

I'm excited about the Zune too but no need to add "in your face Steve".

Video out has its own interface similar to the players interface which you navigate with a remote.

Video hands-on: Samsung's YP-M1 media player is Tegra-based but no Zune HD

If I remember correctly the UI is Flash based which is going to sluggish. If you look at Nvidia and ZuneHD Tegra demos you can see the hardware is capable of much more.

The Zune HD supports unicode. It was mentioned in a podcast a while back.

Zune HD's "Apps" menu item spotted in the Marketplace, still short on details

The Zune HD is an impressive device; it has strong media capabilities, a very stylish and fluid interface (Tegra lets them do subtle 3D transition effects while still being more responsive than any other PMP interface I have seen) and the Tegra platform gives the Zune HD a lot of potential when it comes to 3rd party applications.

I hope they have these hooked up to WiFi and have media content on them.

Not surprising that it doesn't support the MKV container. The only PMPs that I have ever seen support the MKV container are the Cowon A3 and O2 but reviews say the support is very sketchy. It would be cool to have MKV support but it isn't really a big deal since a very small fraction of consumers actually play MKV files.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
