It's a OLED touch-screen equipped Zune running a Tegra chip...
It's a huge evolutionary leap over the previous Zunes and the interfaces have been translated beautifully.
The hardware is snappy, responsive, rotating from Portrait to Landscape while viewing a photo occurs in literally under a second.
The framework for apps is there and there are a small handful of games available. The tilt functionality of SpaceBattle 2 (a Galaga clone) was accurate and easy to use, easily played due to the low weight of the device...which brings me to
SIZE: It's screen is wider than that of the classic zune (30,80,120) and shorter, due to its' 16:9 aspect ratio. The device is .35 inches thick and weighs barely a couple ounces. Very pocketable, light enough to use while working out.
And most importantly: The sound quality is superb, further reinforcing Zune's top spot in sound quality among common MP3 players.
Cons: Cons: Volume output was a little lower than that of my classic 30 gig, not a deal breaker but unfortunate.
It's not a phone? (Listen up Microsoft!)
Other Thoughts: If you are a current Zune owner and you are interested in a touch screen device and/or HD ouput (via dock) get this, don't hesitate!
You won't be sorry

Pros: The Zune HD sports a beautiful OLED screen which looks nice in almost any lighting, including daylight; with a very sleek if not mildly tricky to use (at first) interface. The interface is composed of very smooth transitions and fades which are very easy on the eyes and makes the whole thing just feel ahead of it's time. Battery life is above the average for most MP3 players on the market today, with 33+ hours of music and 8+ hours of video (haven't tried it out yet). The screen is beautifully saturated and actually gives my LCD monitor a run for it's money, considering it actually reaches true black and true white and everything in between. The wifi is heavily improved and intergraded throughout the Zune interface, which truly makes the whole thing feel a lot more open to the world then previous models. We were surprised by the addition of apps at the last second. Currenlty the apps include a few touch and accelometer based games and a couple applications. We're promised more.
Cons: The wifi, just like previous Zunes, is a great addition but it's very hard on the battery. They removed the ability to add a menu background, however you can change the image on the new lock screen. They removed the lock switch and replaced it with a slightly less convinient lock screen which requires a rather elaborate finger gesture. Fortunantly you can hit the side button and get access to audio controls without unlocking it. This works no matter where you are in the Zune, which is a huge improvement over previous models. The "fully functional" web browser still lacks support for Java and Flash which seems to severely limit this "fully functional" browser in actually performing most of the 'functions' we would normally use frequently. The interface can be a tad confusing at first, because the menus don't use back buttons. Instead you tap the zoomed text from the previous menu. It seems weird at first, but actually really cleans up the interface. Slightly smaller than expected.
Other Thoughts: Aside from a few pet peeves, the Zune HD is by no means a disappointment. It proves to be a significent improvement over it's previous models. I would like to see Microsoft release new high capacity models of the Zune HD though, just so that they can push it more. Zune appeals more to the music enthusists and I think most music enthusists would prefer 80 or 120GB's over 16 or 32GB with a few extra features.

Pros: 1. It's a very thin sleek device.
2. AMAZING screen, it's not an HD screen, but it looks like it.
3. Great software...has nice flow.
4. Best accelerometer I have ever seen! Crazy fast.
5. Awesome apps.
Cons: 1. No YouTube app. = ( Maybe it's on its way.
2. You have to buy a Zune HD dock to output HD video.
3. Mine has frozen up for a second or two a couple of times, but not too much of a problem.
Other Thoughts: gopher897 said in a review, "In order to use zune pass you have to download songs to your computer first, then snyc them to the zune." Not true you can go into Marketplace right on your Zune HD as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection and download them directly.
He also stated, "You can not delete songs from the zune player directly. You have to delete them from the zune software on a computer." Also not true, all you have to do is press and hold a song, album, or artist and a menu pops up and one of the options is to delete.
