Microsoft’s Zune HD media player, decked out with an OLED screen, HD video skills and Wi-Fi, goes on sale in the US in just days, but until now it’s kept quiet on a potential European release. But one Microsoft boss has just granted us a glimmer of hope, so read on to see if we’ll be blessed with the mother of all PMPs soon.
Microsoft France’s entertainment division director, Francois Rualt, has gone on the record to say that we shouldn’t expect to see the Zune HD released on either side of the channel this year.
But, he did leave the window open while shutting the door: “I’m not saying the Zune HD will never leave US, but for now, we have no intention of marketing (it here)”, he said.
That’s better than no plans right? When it comes to the 3.3-inch Zune HD with 720p output for viddy, we’re going to look on the positive side of things.
But a lot can happen between now and never, so take note Microsoft. Samsung could start making tasty PMPs, and the iPod touch could go OLED. The world could end. Strike while the iron’s hot, we say, and drop the Zune HD over here too please.
