Not too long ago I put up a post with 4 new Zune HD colors found in a secret file, one of them was called atomic, which looked extremely cool. Now, they’re all on Ebay, with one Zune starting at $265 , so go ahead and bid. But now what I’d like to know is where this Zune HD came from, and if it will ever be sold as part of the Zune Originals.
UPDATE: That atomic Zune HD $5,100 US now!?!

I really never though that success for the Zune HD would be so quick. Would you like to buy a Zune HD?
I’m not so sure you can, because Best Buy is sold out, Amazon back ordered, and Newegg as well as Buy.com only have the 32GB versions. Do you really want to buy a Zune HD? Then go to Microsoft, because they still have them there, it’s better anyway since you can get one of the awesome Zune Originals designs.
Good work Microsoft (they’re not micro at all) for selling out the Zune HD everywhere.
Head over to the Microsoft Store to get the Zune HD, while it lasts..
According to a file, these 4 Zune HD colors seem that they will join the family. They’re called Pink, Magenta, Purple, and Atomic, all looking very cool. What other colors could be hiding in that file?
It’s anyone’s guess.

iFixit as usual has gotten their hand on a Zune HD today! They found the Nvidia Tegra chip, and found it easier to open than the iPod Touch, and from the pic above, the Zune HD internals look a lot cooler than the iPod Touch. So hit the ‘Read’ link to get the full iFixit teardown and the “secret tribute message”.
As Microsoft’s Zune HD gets closer to the official release date, which is 2 days ahead, we see a promotional video, that shows some 3D gaming, but only for around 5 seconds. The game, which according to Gizmodo is Forza Motorsport 3, looks very good for the hardware that it’s on, which is the power hungry Nvidia Tegra chip.
Maybe it looks a bit better than the iPod Touch 3rd generation?
Also, just for your knowledge, the video was ordered to be taken down by Microsoft PR, but as usaul, bloggers prevail and it has been uploaded to YouTube.
Get ready for the Zune HD September 15!

Only the mighty Zune HD gets to stay at the party: According to Paul Thurrot, all previous Zunes, (ALL of them) will be discontinued. Probably because the Zune HD needs all of the spotlight to itself. Oh well, the Zune HD is better than all of the other Zunes combined, right?
He also stated that if you want one of the “Zune Originals” colors, you would have to wait till September 15th. All of this sounds very interesting. Maybe Apple will kill and bury the iPod classic at the “It’s Only Rock and Roll” event in California this September 9th.

For those of you who are in love with the Zune HD, here is more news for you. The picture above is the Zune HD box open, with a USB cable, some Zune 120- like headphones, and a Zune HD of course.
Hit the Zune Spring link for video and more pics of a wonderful thing called the Zune HD.

A tipster has reported that they saw a mysterious “Apps” category in the Zune HD’s interface at a Best Buy preview event. We know games will be there, but what else? What’s even more interesting is that when the tipster tried to give the Apps category a nice little tap with the finger, it gave a no go message.
What sort of apps could Microsoft be planning? You can find more pics and video at Engadget, where they say that Microsoft has a developers SDK for the Zune HD.
Ah ha. Now that’s interesting.
