The Zune HD has just been equipped with a new application now available from its Zune Marketplace, a Twitter app! For those of you who are Zune HD owners, you will know that your device is fab and certainly wins the race if you’re competing against the likes of iPod Touch or iPhone for the longest battery life.

My own personal highlight from the photos below is that the new Zune HD actually looks very solid, and dare I say its not bad looking at all…
The latest rumor to develop over the upcoming Zune HD reincarnation is about the 16GB version of the new Microsoft portable media player. Its been said that an engineer from Microsoft has leaked pricing info that the 16GB Zune HD will cost in the range of $250 and $280.
Cool animations, fast accelerometer, sharp high def images are just some of the comments given to the newly re-incarnated Zune HD so far. The most obvious competitors of Microsoft’s latest reincarnation are the iPod Touch and Sony’s recently launched X-Series. Check out the video below and let us know what you think!
