Microsoft  is holding the number third place in the MP3 player market. Now Microsoft is trying to keep up with the release of the Zune HD. The Zune HD will be offered in two models, 32GB  for $289.99 and a 16GB model for $219.99. You can now pre-order both models online. The in store release date is set for the 15 of September. The Zune will be offered in five different colors, and have 10 different art engraving options.

the Zune HD is the first Microsoft mp3 player to have a touch screen. The Zune HD will offer a HD radio receiver, an HD video output. It will have a 3.3 inch screen with 480 x 272 res. The Zune HD will have Wi-Fi and a  full internet browser. The device also runs the NVIDIA Tegra HD processor. I myself would just much rather have an iPod Touch  with all the apps in the app store and everything you can do with it. If your going to buy a Zune HD I would love to know why your going to buy one over an iPod Touch.

Microsoft has stated that any browser with over 0.5 percent of market share would be added to the list of options with a max of 10 browsers.
