So, if we're to believe the ZuneHD specs that "trickled into" the inbox of Windows Mobile Power User then this is what's coming from Microsoft:



multi-touch capacitive OLED screen in a 16:9 aspect ratio

3D Xbox game support (whatever that is)

playback of "HD media" available from Zune Marketplace

TV-out from what looks like a mini-HDMI port on the left-side

HD Radio

choice of 16GB or 32GB of storage (not a lot for HD content)



wireless sync



multi-touch "browser" of the Internet-type, presumably (so why nothing shown on the main menu in the image above?)



launches this Fall, "around September" in the US, Canada, UK, France and possibly other European countries.

likely to be a "showcase" for Windows Mobile 7 when released (Huh? WinMo7 won't be out until 2010. Perhaps they mean early WinMo7 betas expected in November?)

While the rumored specs are impressive they aren't completely unprecedented. Already, we've seen Samsung's massive OmniaHD sporting an HDMI jack and biggie 3.7-inch capacitive AMOLED display stretched into a 16:9 aspect ratio. Thing is, the OmniaHD's display has a less than HD 360 x 640 pixel resolution -- HD in this case means 720p video capture and HD video out. Definitely haven't seen hand-held sized (less than 4-inches) capacitive OLEDs sporting a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels yet.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
