Zune HD officially announced, What about Australia?
The ZuneHD is one sexy piece of hardware but unfortunately if you live in Australia, don't expect to get your hands on it any time soon. Microsoft will be releasing the new HD version of the Zune media player in the States this Autumn with the Zune Marketplace becoming available on Xbox Live in the US, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Ireland and Spain.
A new Zune-branded video service for the Xbox and PC's will replace the current Xbox Live marketplace for TV and movies.

What about the specs? Microsoft will be making a more complete announcement at the upcoming E3 but we have these tasty details thus far:
- 3.3-inch 16:9, 480 x 272 OLED capacitive touchscreen display.
- Built-in HD Radio receiver.
- HD output through a premium HDMI A/V docking station direct to an HDTV in 720p
- A full-screen internet browser optimised for multi-touch and Wi-Fi functionality - based off IE8.
Yes. We've got a tremendous device – this is a fantastic piece of hardware and absolutely it's going right up against iPod Touch; it's hyper competitive against that product. Built-in HD Radio receiver.
