Zune Social: So folks had noticed in the past few days this little link on zune.net that was alluding to a Zune HD 64GB. It was one of those things that I heard constantly about -- people wanting more space, especially if they do plan on syncing more HD content (specifically movies and TV shows) to their devices.
Well, folks. What can I tell ya? The 64GB Zune HD exists and it will be available through Zune Originals on April 12, 2010! That's a Monday, for those who didn't feel like looking at their calendar. The Zune HD 64GB will be able to hold 16,000 songs or 20 hours of high-definition video (and 25,000 pictures if you have that many). By being available through Zune Originals you'll be able to snag your shiny Zune HD 64 in platinum, black, blue, red, green, purple and magenta.
So what happens to the Zune HD 16/32? They're getting an official (read: official) price drop. All of that jockeying for position you were seeing recently... yeah, that was the retailers hard at work to get your discretionary income. Now, Zune is officially dropping dem prices:
Zune 16GB ($199.99)
comparable to iPod Touch 8GB ($199.99)
Zune 32GB ($269.99)
comparable to iPod Touch 32GB ($299.99)
Zune 64GB ($349.99)
comparable to iPod Touch 64GB ($399.99)
So now you have this bit of news in addition to the recent announcement of the Zune 4.5 firmware update. Things seem to be looking pretty good for Zune in the next few weeks.
