NVIDIA Tegra Gets Its Big Debut in Zune HD

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 13th Aug 2009 23:24 UTC

Microsoft has now more or less given out every possible detail of its next-generation portable media player, the Zune HD. The really interesting part of this device is not the software or its competitiveness with the iPod Touch - no, it's the hardware inside it. This is the first mass-market NVIDIA Tegra-based device.

i seriously doubt it would lack usb support just because of wifi. Not everyone has wifi after all.

He probaply means it doesn't have standard usb input (in zune side). Well it's same with iPod and lot other player, not huge issue.

Also I was hoping WMP support but looks like you are stuck with Zune player, again not huge issue. Rather it than iTunes.

I'm bit more worried on international release. Microsoft drummed loudly about Zune coming to europe but unfortunatly it looks like EU bureaucracy is hindering effort. For ones I would hope EU would have centeralized administration of copyrights but no, all countries have own, it's shite.

No those are all huge issues for me.

I already have a brick of mp3 player from creative that had those same issues ( customer loading software, custom music player). I don't want to repeat that mistake again. I understand Apple gets away with it. I don't like them either. I would consider a zune, if it were not for those facts. I also know from talking with less technical frieds, that Apple's walled garden around ipod does cause them issues.

They'd like to be able to remove songs from it and onto their other computers or their friends (legality aside).
