Information continues to trickle in about the ZuneHD ever since
Microsoft officially announced the upcoming device earlier in the week. Brian Seitz has been making a whirl-wind tour of blog sites dropping
little hints wherever
he goes. He stopped by
to talk to Paul Thurrott and gave some more details about ZuneHD's physical buttons as well as its web browser.

"There are a total of three buttons on the thing," he said. "On the front, near the bottom, is a silver button that takes you back to the home menu. There's a rocker on the upper left that you can use for volume up and down and to trigger onscreen transport [Play, Pause, Next, etc.] controls. And there's a power button on the top. That's it."

He also mentioned the web browser:

The Zune HD web browser is based on a "flavor" of Internet Explorer 6, Seitz said, "but you won't recognize that. We did heavy, heavy customization work on the UI, and it's optimized for multi-touch, gestures, and finger-based navigation instead of a stylus."

He does say more info will come this summer... We'll let you know if we hear anything! Hit the link to go read the entire interesting article that goes further to talk about Zune and Xbox integration, the ZuneHD's OS, and more!
