Microsoft Zune HD Demoed : Being Touted As Better Than iPod Touch

Microsoft recently demoed their Zune HD and its been collecting pretty rave reviews from all over. Its screen and UI is being touted as better then iPod touch.

Quote From Gizmodo which did a Quick Hands-On :

The device is tighter and more physically beautiful than the iPod Touch and it’s got a better UI, the main menu’s scrolling so natural through the swipe gestures. There’s a little note on the side, under the volume toggle—”Hello from Seattle.” The power button is up top. The home button is nice and prominent, a bar rather than a round button on the Touch. It’s smaller. And the accelerometer is more swift in responding to repositioning; images rotate very fast.

Here is the video of the Zune HD in action :

Indeed its impressive, but it faces a uphill battle with iPod Touch, which is having a pretty decent customer score and not to to forget that 40000+ apps store. And as rumored that Apple is coming out with their upgraded iPod Touch model, we will be seeing a pretty good competition between these too .
