Hands on video for the Zune HD
In my opinion, the Zune HD might be a cheaper alternative to the iPod Touch and looking at the current specs, its looking like a good competitor to be for the iPod Touch lineup. No word on what the memory storage configurations will be though. Radio seems like a good option if you ever get bored of listening to the music stored in your player. The iTouch doesn't have this feature though you can stream music from apps like last.fm. I will be sticking to my iTouch for the moment ^^;
