    It’s pretty crazy over there at All Things Digital, and in the hubbub it looks like the Zune HD has had its picture tooken and video shotten. This little video tour shows off the smoothness and speed of the UI, which looks like it has adapted extremely well to the touchscreen. I have my doubts about the screen resolution (480×272 is… well, passable), but the fact that it’s OLED makes for beautiful contrast, and I think that aspect is really emphasized by the stark Zune UI.

    Accelerometer looks quick, all the functionality appears intact from previous Zunes, and the touchscreen itself appears very responsive. Of course, as soon as we get one of our own we’ll give you the full rundown. There’s more pictures over at Giz if you like that sort of thing.
