Apparently, a source close to Microsoft, on terms of being anonymous, revealed information about rumoured Zune HD specs, supporting the fact that the device is indeed real and on the horizon. This came as a little surprise to me since it’s announced on the same day when I busted the speculation of a ‘Zunephone’. A direct MS manufactured cellphone looks more vague now. According to him, Zune HD will have the following hardware configuration,
- 3.6 inch-ish OLED full touch screen.
- NVIDIA Tegra powered.
- 8GB, 16GB, 32GB
- HDMI Connection to stream straight to your TV.
- HD Radio.
- Web Browser.
- Wi-Fi compatible, with wireless marketplace.
- Released, early fall.
- International release of the Zune device itself.
- Home AV packs, Car packs, Charge packs.

Although none from Redmond confirmed the presence of Camera or 3D XBOX gaming support in the upcoming device, speculations are going crazy over these. Since the PMP is far more powerful than almost anything present on the current market in terms of raw hardware count, it’s not a meaningless idea to crave from 3D gaming support. I wish, if Microsoft is definitely going to stick with the above said configuration, they’ll add some blazing games to its favour. That will also be a fitting answer to PSP, while Microsoft doesn’t currently have a portable gaming platform.
