Hi. The Zune HD platform is not MS' long-term vision/vehicle (as I note above). There are no plans to make an app store available for the Zune HD player or (so far) to make Zune HD players available outside the U.S.
This is because the future of Zune is software + services. MS is getting out of the player business some time in the next few years. Pundits and some enthusiasts don't want to hear this, but this is what they are doing. They expect the Zune software and services (video and music) -- not the hardware -- to gain traction. MJ
