Microsoft is placing all its bets on the Zune HD While Microsoft has not had anywhere near the success with the Zune that Apple has had with the iPod. Microsoft has decided to place all its bets on the upcoming Zune HD. That means no more 8, 16, 80, or 120 GB ol' skool Zunes. The future for the Zune line is all about the HD. Microsoft has confirmed that all current Zunes will be discontinued and Microsoft will be focusing solely on the Zune HD. I guess Microsoft realizes they really can't compete with Apple's iPod nano, or even the iPod Classic, the best chance it has going forward is to take on the iPod touch. The Zune HD will feature a HD screen, HD radio, HD TV out, a full multitouch screen, WiFi, and internet browser. If drinking the Apple kool-aid isn't your thing the Zune HD looks like it might finally be able to compete with the iPod. The Zune HD will be released on September 15th, in 16GB, and 32GB sizes.
