Zune HD going on tour; go be a groupie at your local Best Buy
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.
