We’ve had our hands-on, but that’s because we’re an elite media group that knows everything eons ahead of time. I’ve had a Zune HD for almost two years now; I’m just waiting on the new holographic interface that comes with the Zune VR. Oops, I’ve said too much. Or I’m lying. Which is it?
Whatever the case, the Zune HD is making its way around the US so everyone can get their hands on it. I think Microsoft understands that not many people are just going to pick their device based on specs, but the screen and interface will probably turn a lot of heads in real life. They’re taking it around to a bunch of Best Buys for people to check out, so check this (extremely long) list of locations to see if you’ll get a chance to have a hands on.
Look for the swanky Zune HD “van” (pictured… more like SUV but okay). The areas they’re visiting, so you don’t have to search are (in order of listing): Chicago, San Franciso, Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta, DC, Boston, Minneapolis, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Miami, and Seattle.
