Much more depth and shadows along with more detail compared to the first!
Zune HD review {Engadget}
Sep 17th 2009 2:06PM Just wanted to correct a few mistakes and misconceptions mentioned in this article:
It is stated in the third to last paragraph "while you're looking at $229 for the base Zune". The 16GB Zune HD starts at $219, not $229.
The outdoor OLED screen test image is most likely on either low or medium brightness settings. The Zune HD is set to medium out of the box. Setting the screen to High makes it perfectly readable in sunlight. You do this by going to Settings>Display> and toggle the Brightness option to High.
A clarification regarding the ads when launching an app:
Ads are only shown for Games, not apps. There are 2 ads that play, a 15 second car commercial, and a 5 second picture. Whenever you open a Game, the ads switch (first time opening the video, second time the picture, and so on).
You also do not need to look at the screen to change the volume. You just press the media button and either press the top or bottom half of the screen, or slide your finger up or down.

Sep 15th 2009 11:40AM Engadget is complaining about nothing.
The iPod touch requires that you sync it with iTunes before it will even boot past a logo of iTunes with a USB cable.
At least the Zune HD lets you mess around with the menus a bit.

Sep 3rd 2009 2:50PM You're lying. I also own the BlackMagic Design Intensity and it can only record 1080i/60 or 720p/60, not 1080p.
You also only need around 105MBps write speed for uncompressed HD video. It is A LOT less if you record using the compressed codec options.
