Zune HD Passes First Real Test

On top of many positive reviews and first impressions (only major critique? Lack of an enormous App Store, which we have heard ad nauseum. Of course, the iPhone took a bit to get a full App Store running as well, but hey….the gripe is fair, MS should have worked harder to get this issue handled early) Gizmodo printed the following news today…

Amazon has both the 16GB and 32GB versions backordered, as does Best Buy, while Newegg and Buy.com both have only the 32GB left (and it probably won’t last too long). Looks like the place to get it is Microsoft’s online store, where both versions are available (and you can get those sweet Zune Originals engravings). Great to see the Zune HD getting the attention it deserves. (Maybe.)

I can’t tell you how much seeing that, on Giz of all places, made me smile. Congrats to the entire Zune Team…well done indeed.

This is the first Zune to support apps, isn't it? So how many apps are available for the Zune? Does it beat the 18 that I heard were available for the Palm Pre at launch?

I think having 100 or more at launch would be a good showing. After all, most developers probably won't want to commit to the Zune until they see some good sales figures.

An AppStore definitely takes time to build, but it would be more impressive if MS would actually build a Mac client for the Zune.
