We have some good news for future Zune HD owners! According to this pamphlet right here, the Zune Marketplace will be filled with music, HD movies, TV shows and podcasts. The pamphlet has been handed out at Best Buy’s Zune HD showings so it’s as official as it can get. We were kind of expecting HD movies availability from the Marketplace anyway. What else would you need a Zune HD for?

The Zii EGG is finally out in the open officially and starting today you might have your unit shipped to your door. As you can see in the hands-on videos above and below the Zii EGG is working perfectly. According to the lucky owner the screen compares “very favorably” with the S Series Walkman and the Zii seems to bring “the bet sounding Creative player” so far. What do you think? Would you buy a Creative Zii EGG or are you going to wait and see what new iPods are going to be launched in September?

We’ve known for a while now that Microsoft is planning some sort of application delivery method for their Windows Mobile handsets but the same could not be said for the Zune HD. However, if the above videos is anything to go by, Ballmer and his boys may be working on an app store for the Zune, too.

The video comes to us from a Qik user by the name of Matthew Akin who took the video at a recent Best Buy Zune HD preview. As you can see, in the Marketplace there is an Apps link, but what could it possibly lead to?

While Yinlip probably isn’t the most well known of gadget manufacturers, they deserve to be upon seeing their offerings. like the one above, their latest PMP, the Projector MP5.

This device is somewhat unique in that is has the ability to project an 80″ image using its built in projector. Couple that with its 3.5″ screen and ability to play 64 bit games and you have yourself a winner.

Unfortunately, the chance of us ever seeing this hit stores outside of China remains slim to none. Perhaps a domestic manufacturer will pick up on the technology. Please?

NVIDIA has today issued a press release showing off the fact that their all new “ultra-lower-power HD” Tegra processor will provide the muscle in Microsoft’s forthcoming Zune HD.

Below is a list of reasons why NVIDIA thinks the Tegra will help the Zune HD reign supreme:

• an HD video processor dedicated to HD video, providing unprecedented picture quality and ultra-smooth, vivid movie playback with low power consumption
• an ultra-low power graphics processor for a compelling and intuitive user interface
• NVIDIA nPower™ technology, which optimizes system power use and enables extended HD video and MP3 playback time

Will HD quality help the Zune HD oust Apple’s iPod touch? We’ll have to wait until the device’s September 15th release date to find out.

In case the ridiculous amount of iPod touch and iPod nano cases we showed you last month wasn’t enough evidence to convince you that the next generation devices will feature a built in camera, today we bring you, more cases!

What you see above are cases for the iPod touch 3G and iPod nano 5G that show a camera in the exact same locations that the previously spotted cases had them. What’s more, the Portuguese store these pictures were taken from quickly pulled the pictures, issuing the below letter of apology:

Yesterday a new set of products for iPod in our catalog, we have been asked to remove them. It was then clarified that we were not allowed to publish it. We have immediately accepted to remove that information, and would like to express our sincere apologies to our costumers. We are expecting to make those products available in September.

Not allowed? As in, you published them too soon? I think it’s safe to say we will see an iPod touch 3G and iPod nano 5G announcement this September.

Earlier this week we showed you what was supposedly a leaked Zune HD Best Buy display stand that said the device would be hitting store shelves on September 18th of this year. That was only added to the fact that Amazon.com had Zune HD up for pre-order the same day giving us a hint at the device’s price.

Well today, Microsoft soft has come clean and let us know that the Zune HD will in fact be hitting retailers on September 18th in 16GB and 32GB models for $219.99 and $289.99 respectively.

What’s more is, not only has Amazon re-listed the device for pre-order but Microsoft, Best Buy and Walmart have done the same.

Just hours after the Amazon.com listing was pulled which notified us of the Zune HD’s pricing, we bring you a leaked promotional display for the device letting us know that it will in fact be hitting store shelves on September 15th.

The picture comes to us from a Gizmodo tipster, who is reportedly a Best Buy employee, so I think it’s safe to say this one is confirmed.

Earlier today an Amazon.com listing was spotted that had 16GB and 32GB Zune HD models up for pre-order. The listing has since been removed but we have included a screen shot of it above for your viewing pleasure.

As you can see, the 16GB model features a black colorway and will go on sale for $219.99. The 32GB model, on the other hand, will feature a platinum colorway and a price tag of $289.99.

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that the iPod touch (which is the device the Zune HD will go up against) is priced at $299 for the 16GB model and $399 for the 32GB model. Competitive pricing anyone?

It seems that Microsoft’s iPod touch competitor, the Zune HD, has finally made its way through the FCC and from it we have a slew of pictures like the one above.

What we have learned from this recent FCC filing is that the device will come in both 16 and 32GB capacities and that it will in fact feature a dock (if you couldn’t have guessed).

In terms of a price point and release date well, we’ll still have to wait until Microsoft gives us official word but we’re thinking it will hit store shelves later this year at a price dangerously close to the iPod touch’s.

If you’re looking to pick up a case for your iPod Nano and want a nice nostalgia theme then maybe you should out Contexture Design’s 45 Nano Cases.

As you can see, these cases are nothing more than a gutted out cassette tape which was then be rebuilt to pefectly house an iPod Nano while still leaving its ports open for use.

Unfortunately, its $49 CAD ($45 USD) price tag will most likely have users trying to fashion their own rather than buying one of these.

It seems that a few press images of the highly sought after Zune HD have emerged thanks to a Zune MVP’s twitter account. While the pictures were quickly taken down a blogger by the name of Josh managed to snag them before they were.

As you can see, these press images clearly show the two colorways the device  will ship in; black and silver.

Expect Microsoft’s Zune HD to hit store shelves on September 8th of this year.

Samsung is working on a new portable media player which seems destined to compete against the iPod touch and most importantly against Microsoft’s Zune HD. The Samsung M1 is the gadget in question and it will come with a 3.3-inch OLED touchscreen and an Nvidia Tegra chipset. Other features will include Bluetooth audio support, DivX video playback, FM radio, photo viewer, text reader, voice recorder and microSD support. Of course there are no prices available just yet so you’ll have to wait a while to make your choice. And what will you choose when the time comes? Samsung’s M1, Microsoft’s Zune HD or Apple’s iPod touch?

It seems that students over at MIT have been hard at work for the past 2 years on what would go on to become WiTricity. You know, WiFi + electricity = WiTricity?

If you haven’t figured it out by the name, WiTricity is brand new technology that uses magnetic induction to wirelessly power peripherals. This means that you’ll theoretically be able to charge your phone (or laptop/any other rechargeable device) by just having it within the station’s perimeter.

There are currently no working prototypes that WiTricity Corp. is willing to share but they are hopeful that the technology will see primetime sometime within the next 18 months. Count me in.
