Microsoft is hoping to take on Apple's iPod Touch with the Zune HD. The device will be able to surf the web, play high-definition movies, and tune in to digital radio. Here's some pictures of the preview unit.
Here's the Zune HD's mobile web browser, which was engineered by Microsoft's Internet Explorer team.
The browser displays web pages in a similar fashion as Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, using pinching and flipping gestures to zoom and scroll through content. Pages also reorient themselves based on the position of the device, flipping from landscape to portrait view depending on the tilt of the screen.
