Quick thoughts on the Zune HD
I wasn't going to write anything about the Zune HD, but I've just peeked at my inbox and already seem several emails asking me what I think ... OK, here, in as few words as possible, is what I think of the Zune HD.

And that's the problem, because the Zune HD is a good year too late entering the market. The iPod touch has two years of betterment and refinement (and market share) over the Zune HD and that's a big hurdle to overcome. While there's definitely a market to exploit, and the Zune HD has enough to separate it from the other contenders, I can't see it capturing more than a small sliver of market share.
