Exclusive: Steve Ballmer demos the Zune HD for Engadget!
Apparently the guy slipped out that it was due next month...but them Microsoft contacted Engadget to say it's still for fall....

- Interface was basically the same Zune UI with touch navigation, but very colorful and pretty snappy.
- The OLED screen looked great.
- We'll obviously be badgering Microsoft in the coming months for a longer, closer look at the device, but at least it's not just a render anymore.

The slick, shiny black reminds me of the Samsung P2, don't you think?

From what I've read, the Zune Team is "still working it out" so it may or may not be available at launch, but it's possible we'd still see it in subsequent updates...

That look so cool. At first I didn't like that thing in the lower left, but now I think it looks OK.

Keep in mind, that's a custom ZuneHD. I'm not sure the production ZuneHD will have that logo in the bottom left and will probably look like the images we've been seeing, but it looks like they will be able to do artwork on the front and back side of the device for the Zune Originals.

Engadget also managed to get their hands on it too...
Zune HD hands-on
And @Runt - what about the design do you not like?

i was just hoping that they would use the full front side as a screen instead o.O which would be much bigger screen.. probably around 3.5-3.7"? and maybe the button on the sides.. x.X
but it's alright i guess..
