Introducing Zune HD
Zune HD is the next iteration of the Zune device family and brings a new level of listening and viewing experiences to the portable media player category.
Zune HD comes with a built-in HD Radio receiver so users can listen to higher-quality sound than traditional radio on the go. Users also will have access to the additional song and artist data broadcast by HD Radio stations as well as additional channels from their favorite stations multicasting in HD. If you don’t like the song playing on your station’s HD channel, switch to its HD2 or HD3 channels for additional programming.
The bright OLED touch screen interface allows users to flip through music, movies and other content with ease, and the 16:9 widescreen format display (480x272 resolution) offers a premium viewing experience on the go.
The HD-compatible output lets Zune HD customers playback supported HD video files from the device through a premium high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) audiovisual docking station (sold separately) direct to an HD TV in 720p.*
Zune HD will include a full-screen Internet browser optimized for multitouch functionality.
Zune HD is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing for instant streaming to the device from the more than 5 million-track Zune

Will the iPad succeed or is it missing the point?
Apple have finally revealed the iPad but does it need to do or be something more, have we been waiting for a laptop without a keyboard. I don't think we have.
When I heard about this I was Will the iPad sucseed or is it missing the point?hoping that it would be a netbook with the power of a laptop plus it would be a photo frame when charging and an eBook reader when in bed and finally an ipod when travelling. Yes I may be asking for a lot but am I if I'm paying out for another laptop as I can't see myself using an iPad all the time...

Title: Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey
Platform: Nintendo DS

Info:
- Some other dimension has opened up in the South Pole

- Top screen = first person as in past SMT games

I personally was expecting a PS3 and/or X360 title!!
Could this be the long awaited SMT4?
This is an interesting move from Atlus, reminiscent of Dragon Quest going from PS2 to DS.
