Zune HD hands-on by Engadget

by James on May 29, 2009

Engadget have been lucky enough to get some hands on time with the HD following the exclusive demo that Steve Ballmer carried out.

The device is only a pre-production model however Engadget didn’t notice a single hiccup while jumping through menus or playing back HD video.

They found the screen to be absolutely stunning with colours being bright, edges crisp, and text clear.

The UI is an extension of the existing Zune interface, but way tricked out in this version, with lots of flipping images, scaling text, smooth scrolling, and an extreme emphasis on simple visual navigation.

The zune looks well nice but I think it will take some doing trying to take the shine off the iPhone/iPod touch.
