Zune MP3 player: the HD version has touchscreen

The new Zune features reflect an effort by Microsoft to compete with the Apple products, especially, of course, with the iPod Touch that has a touch screen. Also, this fact is a clear signal that Microsoft is working hard in order to incorporate its different platforms for computers and mobile phones into the Xbox environment.

Here are some of the new features:

* Zune HD comes with a built-in HD radio receiver with a better quality sound than the traditional radio sets. This way, users are able to listen to music or radio programs everywhere.

* The interface of the sharp OLED touch screen offers users the possibility to browse playlists, movies and other contents in an easy way.

* Its HD-compatible output allows users to play video in 720p (from the player) to an HDTV through an optional HDMI docking station.

* Zune HD includes a full-screen Internet browser optimized for multitouch functionality, which is able to acknowledge multiple tactile commands.

* Zune HD also includes Wi-Fi connection allowing a quick transmission of more than 5 million songs available from the Zune music store to the player.
