Microsoft Zune HD Goes Against iPod Touch PDF

Microsoft is planning to release an alternative to Apple’s iPod Touch devices in the fall of 2009 under the Zune brand umbrella. At least for 2009, the Redmond company will continue Zune HD Microsoft to sell the now traditional versions of its digital music player along with the new device, but it indicated that moving forward the evolution of Zune would be synonymous with Zune HD.

The Zune HD portable media player would be made available exclusively in the US this fall, Microsoft revealed. “The Zune music player is an integral part of the overall Zune experience, and we’re proud to be growing and extending our offering beyond the device,” revealed Enrique Rodriguez, corporate vice president of the Microsoft TV, Video and Music Business Group. “Delivering on Microsoft’s connected entertainment vision, this news marks a turning point for Zune as it brings cross-platform experiences and premium video content to living rooms around the
world.”

One aspect worth noting is that Zune HD will not be able to deliver HD videos by itself. With just the device, users can watch video content at just 480 x 272, a limitation that comes with the screen of the Zune HD and obviously not an HD resolution. However, Zune HD can indeed play supported 720p HD video files. But in order to get the full HD experience users will need not only Zune HD but also an AV Dock, and an HDTV, which are sold separately. Essentially, HD videos will only be available from Zune HD in 720p via a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) audiovisual docking station and an HD TV.
