Today Microsoft Corp. confirmed the top secret Zune HD and it will be shipped this fall. The Zune HD will have a 3.3 inch OLED multitiuch screen, built-in HD Radio receiver, HD output (utilizing a new dock -- not on-board), and... not much more right now. We expect more details during E3 2009.
Microsoft is doing away with the famed squircle in favor a full multitouch device, and they seemed to indicate that some new touch-friendly apps and games would be headed our way, though they were fairly mum when it came to details. The device will boast an IE-based, customized browser, but little else was said in the way of software.
Details about CPU performance, memory and other specs have not been released yet.
The Zune HD official website has also been launched. It does not have any information that has not already been leaked:
