What do y'all think? Is it an iPhone killer? (http://www.enduserblog.com/2009/05/microsoft-announces-zune-hd-media-players.html)

If there's anything history has taught us, that's i-anything outsells Zune. I honestly expect to hear large problems occurring with the device for the first year of production and marketing. Then I expect five more editions of the iPhone before the first major upgrade for it comes along.

And if it thinks it will touch the sales of iPod Touch, I feel bad for it. I just can't see it being "the one".

While I'm sure that there will be people out there who will enjoy having a Zune HD, it's not for me for the simple reason that I already have a iPod Touch. While I'm not going to post any personal opinions on which will be better than the other due to risk of an all out brand brawl I will say this...

There is a lot to be said about a company that is the first to put out a mass produced item. In this game, you want to be the originator, not the innovator.

Very nice interface, animations, etc. Im hoping for some serious xbox integration with it.

I could have swore that I read an article title on yahoo news saying something about the compatibility with it and the 360.

I kinda agree with Klark, Zune has a great format, but apple has better reaction when it comes to sales. Plus Microsoft has been having glitchy new releases for years...

Honestly, I think it looks better than an Iphone and, I mean I know apple has great products, but absolutely EVERYONE has an Ipod.

I myself am looking for alternatives because, i've found that my 16GB Creative Zen is a LOT better than an I pod Nano.
Ipod's and Iphones are just, too common.

Honestly though, I think the Iphone killer is going to be this.

I agree with Revan. If the iPhone has anything to watch out for, its the SE Satio/Idou. Esp. if its going to have the ability to play Playstation titles, as reported. Jumping Flash on the go will be fun...but then again, you can already play it on the PSP, I believe. (correct me if I'm wrong)
