The Zune HD has been in the headlines ever since Engadget leaked the images from its promotional campaign. Zune HD ir bijusi virsraksti kopš Engadget noplūda attēlus no tās reklāmas kampaņai. Even though leaks about some new gadgets spur a lot of excitement, they come with a fare share of false rumors that are disappointing and sometimes, plain absurd. Pat ja noplūde par kādu jaunu sīkrīkus stimulēt daudz satraukumu, tie nāk ar tarifu daļu par nepatiesas baumas, ka ir neapmierinoši un dažreiz, vienkāršais absurdi. This usually only happened with Apple products like the iPhone or the iPod Touch, but this time - to everyone's surprise - Microsoft's well underplayed portable media player managed to steal the spotlight. Tas parasti notika tikai ar Apple produkti kā iPhone vai iPod Touch, bet šoreiz - lai visiem ir pārsteigums - Microsoft labi underplayed Portable Media Player izdevās nozagt uzmanības centrā.

We thought it would be a good idea to gather all the floating news and rumors about the still unconfirmed device and try to get the facts straight. Mēs domājam, ka tā būtu laba ideja apkopot visus peldošā jaunumus un baumas par vēl neapstiprinātiem ierīces un mēģināt iegūt faktus taisni.

First of all, the device is real, and its coming somewhere between the third and fourth quarters of 2009. Pirmkārt, ierīce ir reāla, un tā nāk kaut kur starp trešo un ceturto ceturtdaļu 2009. A mere glimpse of the hardware would reveal that Microsoft intend it to be a direct competitor to the iPod Touch. Tikai ieskatu datortehnikas varētu atklāties, ka Microsoft plāno, ka tas ir tieši konkurentu iPod Touch. The Zune HD appears to have a capacitance 16:9 OLED Touchscreen which appears to be greater than 3 inches. Zune HD, šķiet, nav kapacitātes 16:9 OLED Touchscreen, kas, šķiet, ir lielāka par 3 collām. However, there is no confirmation that the screen is Multi-touch. Tomēr, nav apstiprinājums tam, ka ekrāns ir Multi-touch. From the currently available images, it only seems to have one physical button bellow the touchscreen. No pašreiz pieejamajiem attēliem, tikai, šķiet, ir viena fiziska poga zemāk skārienekrānu.

The device is Ierīce powered by the NVIDIA Tegra powered by NVIDIA Tegra platform, which fuel its HD capabilities. platformas, kas degvielu tā HD iespējas. The platform is known to allow simultaneous playback of HD content, while still being able to drive and LCD display of 1280x1024 resolution, which is also evident by the visible HDMI port on the left side of the device. Platforma ir zināms, lai vienlaicīgi atskaņot HD saturu, bet vēl ar to var braukt, un LCD displejs ar 1280x1024 izšķirtspēju, kas ir redzama arī pēc redzamā HDMI portu kreisajā pusē ierīci. Though the Tegra platform does support a digital camera of up 12MP, the backside of the device clearly shows that there isn't any camera on board. Gan Tegra platformas nav atbalstīt digitālā kamera 12MP augšu, un ierīcei aiz skaidri parāda, ka nav jebkuru kameru uz kuģa. Though there appears to be a button on the lower back, which suggests that it may feature a removable battery. Lai gan šķiet, ka pogu muguras lejasdaļas, kas liek domāt, ka tā var iezīme noņemams akumulators.

The user interface in the screenshot looks a lot like the Zune's original interface, which is kinda surprising for me. Lietotāja saskarni screenshot izskatās daudz kā Zune sākotnējo interfeisu, kas ir kinda pārsteidzošs par mani. If Microsoft plans to take Zune HD head to head with the iPod Touch, it shouldn't be using the tailored version of Windows Embedded. Ja Microsoft plāno veikt Zune HD galvu uz galvas ar iPod Touch, to nevajadzētu izmantot pielāgotus versiju Windows Embedded.

The user interface pretty much looks like the Zune's, which is a bit surprising for me. Lietotāja interfeiss diezgan daudz izskatās Zune's, kas ir pārsteidzoši nedaudz par mani. If the device is going to compete with the iPod Touch, then it should be using a newer, more flexible operating system instead of Zune tailored Windows Embedded OS. Ja ierīce ir gatavojas konkurēt ar iPod Touch, tad tas būtu, izmantojot jaunākās un elastīgāk operētājsistēmu nevis Zune pielāgota Windows Embedded OS. Probably something in the line of Windows Mobile tailored for the Zune platform would be nice. Droši vien kaut ko rindā Windows Mobile pielāgoti Zune platforma būtu jauki. Also the Zune Marketplace should be revamped to support applications, or merged with the Windows Mobile Marketplace. Arī Zune Marketplace jābūt uzlabotai atbalsta pieprasījumiem, vai apvieno ar Windows Mobile Marketplace. The device is said to have a web browser, with a rumored multi-touch support. Ierīce ir teikt, ka interneta pārlūku, ar rumored multi-touch atbalstu. It isn't clear that whether it would be a new browser, or a port of Internet Explorer for Mobile. Nav skaidrs, vai tā būtu jaunu pārlūkprogrammu, vai Internet Explorer ostu Mobile.

The hardware specifications aren't available yet, but it is widely believed that the player would be available in configurations ranging from 4GB to 32GB. Aparatūras specifikācijas pagaidām nav pieejami, bet tas tiek plaši uzskatīts, ka atskaņotājs būs pieejams sastāvos, sākot no 4GB līdz 32GB. There are also strong rumors that it would support Xbox games. Ir arī stingri baumas, ka tā atbalstīs Xbox spēles. Though it is pretty hard to believe or comment on right now, the rumors perfectly fall in line with Microsoft's Live Anywhere initiative - where it wanted to bring ubiquitous Xbox Live Gaming service to the PC, Cellphone and its other handheld devices. Lai gan tas ir diezgan grūti noticēt vai komentārus par labi tagad baumas pilnīgi samazināšanās saskaņā ar Microsoft Live Anywhere iniciatīva - ja tā vēlas celt visuresošs Xbox Live Gaming pakalpojumu datoru, mobilā tālruņa un citu rokas ierīcēm. Back in its early days, Zune was believed to be a handheld gaming device by Microsoft. Atpakaļ tās pirmsākumiem Zune bija domājams, ir rokas spēļu ierīce, ar Microsoft. It looks like Microsoft is fully capable of making that a reality right now going head to head with Nintendo and Sony in the handheld gaming market. Izskatās, ka Microsoft ir spējīga veikt šo realitāte šobrīd gatavojas galvu pie galvas ar Nintendo un Sony ar rokas spēļu tirgū.

The Zune HD is expected to see international release around the fourth quarter of 2009. Zune HD ir redzēt starptautisko izlaisti aptuveni ceturtajā ceturksnī 2009. Microsoft is taking a shot at Apple in a yet another market dominated by its iPod family. Microsoft ņemot nošauta pie Apple vēl citā tirgū dominē tās iPod ģimene. Will Microsoft succeed is hard to tell but they certainly got the formula right this time. Vai Microsoft panākumiem ir grūti pateikt, bet tie ieguva formula tiesības šajā laikā. Though no Apple device is HD capable yet, we can expect surprises from Cupertino, Cali based company when they unveil there Lai gan nav Apple ierīce ir HD var vēl, mēs varam sagaidīt pārsteigumus, Cupertino, Cali balstīts uzņēmums, ja viņi atklās tur new line of devices Jaunā līnija ierīces at the pie Worldwide Developer Conference Worldwide Developer Conference . .
