Unless you have a whole family of Scrooges, it’s a safe bet that few people on your list and films as music and photos. Why not enjoy their habits of media, enclosing an arc centered on the new portable media player? Few years ago to give a PMP was not an iPod would be most likely in eyes or perhaps reluctantly, through clenched teeth. Fortunately, this year’s offerings are just as anxious, maybe more. Of course, Apple PMP is still the favorite of millions. If the media expert in his list is not likely to let go, you can always donate to a speaker dock.

If you read our review of the Zune HD, you’ll notice that we have compared the audio quality of the Sony Walkman series X ($ 270.00). I did after hearing the same song on both players at the suggestion of Jeffrey Wilson (who reviewed the Sony). Both agree that the Walkman has a superior audio quality in both the Zune and the new iPod nano, which then led to the question of whether other people knew, or could have the experience that still prefer an iPod? The importance of sound quality for consumers? I decided to test.

We took the Zune HD, Sony Walkman X, the iPod Nano and the Samsung P3 (another player with a rating of sound quality) to two music stores in New York to ask employees and customers thought it sounded better.

Zune HD makes its official debut today and the band around this new media player is well deserved. The OLED display offers beautiful colors and rich blacks, crisp images and record HD video with ease. The screen is also capable of playing, allowing easy navigation and fun thanks to the well designed user interface.

One of my favorite things about the Zune is the navigation. It is very intuitive, which combines the structure and meaning and design. No matter how deep in the menus that I understand, there is an easy way to get back to where it was and, of course, the home screen. Like its predecessor, the Zune comes with Wi-Fi and now has an integrated web browser. Unlike other mobile browsers underbaked we recently met, included here makes navigation easy and URL input.

The elegance extends to the outside. There are only three buttons – food, home, and the volume control read /. Otherwise, this stylish and slim device is smooth and elegant. It is available in platinum, black, red, blue and green in the capacity of 16 GB and 32 GB.

The HD video service beyond – there is also an HD radio receiver inside which allows users to record the song information to buy later. And the new Zune Marketplace will have a range of applications of the table games that will demonstrate the 3D capabilities of the Tegra chip.

We have a handful in HD Zune software soon.
