I don't expect anyone (besides me) that already owns a Touch will believe Microsoft could make something similarly desirable. I mentioned the new Zune HD at a lunch table where everyone there owns a Touch or an Iphone. Scowls of contempt is the best I can describe the look on most of their faces. I'm getting that here too, and I don't mind. Those same people all begrudgingly admit the screen of my cowon S9 does look better than their Touch screens. The S9 uses the same screen the Zune HD has. You kids don't need to buy a Zune HD. I could care less. I personally think they'll sell surprisingly well, and I base that simply on my experience with other players and what I've seen the Zune HD can do via various videos posted around the web. Add that some places have "sold out" of their pre-order alotment already. Add the buzz in Zune forums. For that matter add the fact that the Zune HD has generated lengthy threads on most tech forums (including this one) and you have to wonder...
The nice thing about this debate is that time will prove the winner. It's clear we're all interested in that outcome, lest this thread be ignored.
