3D TV coming to Best Buy this week

The forthcoming new entrant to Microsoft's Zune line of portable media players, and a head-to-head competitor with Apple's iPod touch, has been dubbed the Zune HD for its support for high definition playback. The specs for the device include a 3.3-inch OLED multi-touch screen at 480 x 272 resolution (16:9), playback of high definition content from the Zune Marketplace, an HD radio tuner, full-screen internet browser, Wi-Fi, and some sort of Xbox gaming support (this isn't well-defined — presumably some sort of featureset that links you to your Xbox Live gamertag, or perhaps just the ability to download and play mobile titles).

Output to a TV will apparently be handled by an HDMI-equipped docking station that is going to be sold separately.

The Zune HD launched on September 15th, 2009 in two models differing only in storage capacity: 16 GB for $219.99 and 32 GB for $289.99, confirming the leaks and rumors of the previous few days. Pre-orders began on August 13th. See the press release under the product details tab.
