Zune HD opened its arms to the world U.S. yesterday and from a few reviews it seems to be a great little PMP There are links to various reviews which divulges a variety of info and extra pictorial goodness! It does have a few flaws and according to one buyers experience the launch itself was rather subdued.

As for the specs and how it looks, well take a look:

• 3.3 inch OLED display capacitive touch screen (480×272 16:9 aspect ratio)
• Size: 2.07″x4.08″x.35″ (52.7 mm x 102.1 mm x 8.9 mm)
• Weight: 2.6 ounces (74 grams) ^[10]
• Nvidia Tegra APX with one ARM11 processor core^[11]
• Multi-touch technology
• 16/32 GB ^[12]
• Built-in accelerometer
• HD radio tuner
• 720p high definition video output (additional dock required)
• Wi-Fi connectivity 802.11b/g with Open, WEP, WPA, and WPA2 authentication modes and WEP 64- and 128-bit, TKIP, and AES encryption modes^{[citation needed]}
• A Wi-Fi version of the Zune Marketplace
• Web browser (based on Internet Explorer Mobile 6 for Windows CE)
• Games^[13]
• Unicode Support
• Equalizer
• Music, up to 33 hours (wireless off); video, up to 8.5 hours
• Battery : 3.7 Volt, 730 mAh Lithium-Ion Polymer battery

What’s the problem though? There are no plans for it to hit blighty or any other European country. A large amount of people are scratching their heads over this decision and unless there is an announcement relatively soon then a Christmas 09 launch is out of the question. Still this Zune has a purpose, to battle it out with the iPod Touch, many have tried most have failed what are Microsoft’s chances? Pretty damn slim but that doesn’t mean they can’t try.
