The Zune HD has come a long way from its meager beginnings. The iPod Touch has sat fat and happy for many years; and now, as Apple citizens grow smugger with each updated iPod model that gets released, a fire burns in the hearts of the wizards and engineers at Microsoft who are more than ready to do battle with their latest underdog creation.

The old ways of DRM past are gone now and the hearts and souls of new music and media player buyers are up for grabs. The Zune HD knows that this war cannot be won in its life time and yet it tunes in it’s HD fm radio tuner, shines up it’s tough ultra slim exterior shell and preps for battle. Behind the walls of Apple’s kingdom, the iPod asks it’s self what that glimmer is that it sees off in the distance. After doing a search with it’s Google neighbors, the iPod comes to learn that glimmer is the sight of a Zune HD army with their OLED screens charged up and marching upon the Apple empire. The media player war has begun and the line has been drawn, do you know what side you stand on?
