Microsoft Zune HD – coming this Fall

Zune HD

While style is usually an Apple trait and is typically last on Microsoft’s mind, they seem to have got it right on this one – the Zune HD. This is the latest in the line of Zune players and is beautifully angular to fit in with the modern world. This new 3.3-inch OLED touchscreen Zune can browse the internet via WiFi, play movies and snag digital radio feeds – hang about, this is starting to sound like an iPod Touch (bar the design). The player is available in silver (pictured) and black.

When hooked up to the TV, playback can be produced at 720p for a superior high definition image and a hookup between the XBox Live Marketplace TV/video service has been confirmed. The limited announcement from Redmond has left many users wondering whether or not this is some sort of PSP rival and will support XBox games and is it going to develop into some sort of Zune phone? Let’s just wait for the release in the fall!

JVC puts up 1st HD display in Times Square, NY

In NYC this holiday season? Then check out JVC’s brand new 720p high def billboard display. The screen with its 1.2 million LEDs has a mere 8mm pixel pitch (space between the pixels), and measures 34′ and 19′. At a resolution of 1280×720, that means each pixel measures approximately 1/3″ wide.

Head to Times Square, would ya and let us know if this thing is as clear as we’re imagining it is. 😉
