The history of the iPod versus Zune Prizefights is long and bloody, full of cutting critical enough to send the devoted fans on both sides of the ring of an attack. Now the iPod and Zune Prizefight of ever more fiercely with Microsoft introduced the Zune HD September 15. Compared with the iPod Touch, Zune has what features HD and what different benefits, has become more heated discussion on the topic. HD Zune is a platform without a purpose. It is a single device in a multi-purpose world. Zune gamed HD iPod Touch, with better design, better hardware components, the right size and outstanding experience in digital content consumption. It is a brief summary, let's go!
Main features of Zune HD:
· Large screen size (3.3 inches), lightweight (2.6 ounces), high resolution (480 * 272 pixels), bonito (Platinum, Black, Red, Green, Blue), high-capacity (16GB/32GB), Multi-Touch;

· Support 720p high definition television and videos in high definition on your HDTV via the HD AV Zune Dock (sold separately).

Compared with the iPod touch, although the Zune screen HD slightly smaller measures 3.3 inches diagonally, which uses cutting-edge OLED technology which offers brightness and contrast unlike anything you can find on an LCD screen iPod Touch is applied. And light another three hours of music may seem, the extra large 2.5 hours of video highlights for us as a significant advantage. (UPS iPod Touch 30 hours for music and 6 hours of video).
In addition to hardware, so the differences in others?
HD Radio
Zune marketing continues to HD radio highlight Zune adjustment capacity (which we had from the original Zune) and his break with the functionality of the lack of iPod radio. The internal tuner has become a little cooler now with HD radio and a feature that allows users to "tag" playing the song, so they can easily buy later, which is clean.
Both are heavyweights media player for video, audio and photos. But they are different in many details.
Zune supports HD video formats: WMV, WMV HD, MPEG-4, H.264, DVR-MS and HD MPEG-4. audio formats: Windows Media, WMA, WMA DRM, WMA Pro, WMA, AAC (non FairPlay) and MP3. and video output: 720p optional basis.
iPod Touch supports video formats: H.264, MPEG-4. Audio formats: MP3, AAC (including FairPlay) AAC +, Apple Lossless, WAV and AIFF. And video output: 480p or 576p with optional cable.
Although both have advanced media player, could not support all formats video and audio. So I will Nidesoft Inc. to get the program Xilisoft Video Converter, which can convert video files or audio files between all popular formats. Fortunately, this video converter can not only support Zune and iPod Touch HD, but also supports all popular multimedia devices such as iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia, Palm, Sansa, Google phone, iTunes and so on.

Click "Add Files" and import AVI video on my computer.
