Looks like Cnet's Donald Bell got the green light to post the images of the web browser he took from his hands-on treatment of the Zune HD. Some notable features, you can see the favorites page, the keyboard works in portrate and landscape mode, and there's Bing hardwired into the browser (see the grey letters in the search boxes?)...
Looks nice, but it reminds me of the Opera browser my HTC Touch Diamond had. Perhaps Windows has made their own browser for it though? Being the search has Bing in it.
Interesting. The Zune HD uses the whole screen to view the website. I wonder where Microsoft put the address bar to surf the web on the browser. I guess we'll find out when it's released, or when there's a video of the Zune HD's browser working. I'm so excited for the Zune HD to be launched! I just wish I could get it on launch date. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait 'till the end of October to get it, 'cause that's when I'll have enough money to buy it. Black or Silver?
I wonder if Microsoft's marketing team is laughing their heads off right now...
Microsoft's marketing team should get off their arses and do their job. How do they expect to get the sales they want out of the Zune HD without TV commercials and internet adds? The iPod Touch/iPhone have so many commercials on TV is ridiculous. I haven't seen a single internet add for the Zune HD, much less a TV commercial. Seems to me everything goes towards Bing and the 'I'm a PC' campaign. They should do some more for Windows 7 also. I know most people know about it, but I can assure you most people who haven't tried it out are just assuming it's another Vista.
And people who have just heard of the Zune HD, but not seen it, are just assuming it's another chunky, boring MP3 player that lacks a certain picture of a certain fruit.
