A review of the new Microsoft Zune HD portable media player has been posted over at PC Magazine. 'A very good-looking gadget, the 16GB Zune HD is Onyx Black and the 32GB version is Platinum Silver. The larger-capacity player is available in exclusive colors including red, blue, and a yellowish-green at ZuneOriginals.net. When you compare it side-by-side with the iPod touch, what's most striking about the 2.6-ounce, 4.0-by-2.1-by-0.4-inch (HWD) Zune HD is its smaller, lighter frame. (The 4.1-ounce touch measures 4.3 by 2.4 by 0.3 inches.) The Zune's 3.3-inch multi-touch-capable OLED screen is noticeably smaller than the touch's 3.5-inch LCD, and the 480-by-272 resolution is slightly lower than the iPod's 480 by 320. Still, the screen is bright and sharp--due in part to Microsoft's decision to use OLED and keep it smaller.'
