DISASSEMBLED: The Zune HD
Who doesn't love tearing apart new gadgets?
On this, the day of the Zune HD launch, you are probably either fast asleep or just starting your morning's work. However, feedback over the last few weeks leads us to believe that once you do wake up/finish work, plenty of you are planning on picking up the just-launched Zune HD.
So before you purchase, perhaps you'd like to see what it looks like inside?
That's right, despite the fact that the Zune HD just launched a few hours ago, someone has already torn the device asunder. Laid its insides out on the operating table and shamelessly photographed them from every angle. Yay!
In case anyone is wondering, the "For Our Princess" you see on the inside cover of is in memory of a Zune team member who passed away while the device was in development. The rest of her teammates have dedicated the Zune HD to her.

Am I supposed to hear Johhny5 in my head when I read DISASSEMBLED?
I love the dedication to a member of the team, whether most will see it or not.
That's pretty awesome. =]
Does it still say "Hello from Seattle" on the back? =O
Does anyone notice in the last shot that empty space that looks like it could physically hold a SIM card?
Interesting Koss I see it too
I want it.
anythingbutipod rocks! But I still prefer my old Sansa e280r with rockbox
looks cheap, especially with these wires!

Good catch.
Does anyone notice in the last shot that empty space that looks like it could physically hold a SIM card?
yeah, except there's no room for the phone transceivers...
Apple are you getting a look at this? A removable battery.

"Does anyone notice in the last shot that empty space that looks like it could physically hold a SIM card?"
Sorry to dissapoint you guys but where do you think this chip on the ribbon connector sticking up in the center goes when folded down ?!?
The chip goes right into the hole and then the main board on top and the three conectors then snap on the top of the main board.
when i read the for our princess part i thought someone from toms dedicated to jane (because she cant get one yet...)because shes always drooling/talking about it.
lol @ the toshiba and foxconn parts
Better them then ECS
what a nice clean build
Waiting for Zune FullHD. LOL
Lets see Linux on it already
"For our princess?"
Awwwww....thats cute.
The inside of the iPhone only says, "Fuck you dumbass, you paid for a phone that explodes in use and sucks 70$ a month out of your wallet when you don't."
oh man, time to get rid of the 3rd gen ipod nano and get me one of these!!!
Thats a big battery.
I want one, but I have no use for a media player this large. Maybe I should just buy one anyway.....
"For our princess?"Awwwww....thats cute.The inside of the iPhone only says, "Fuck you dumbass, you paid for a phone that explodes in use and sucks 70$ a month out of your wallet when you don't."
Dang. It costs my brother 100 a month and really all he gets is internet and unlimited texting.
I'm just not rich enough to be in the iCult yet myself. Maybe I'll be cool and rich enough once I get another job. Or maybe I'll just build a desktop server for 5 grand with better hardware than a 12 grand Mac Pro. Maybe not though...I heard the second you start up a PC you automatically get a virus and have to spend all of your money getting that fixed. I bet there isn't an easy way around that either; like not using Limewire and installing a free anti-virus.
G1 55$ mth unlimted texting/web lots of games / mp3 player
i don't call people because....texting is the new thing
why get an iphone?
lol @ the toshiba and foxconn parts
After getting a X58 Foxconn motherboard, I'd be all too happy to carry anything around with the Foxconn name.
My wife got me my Zune HD and I am loving it.. the only thing I see needing improvement is a better web browser (it functions but is lacking).. and I hope Microsoft pulls their heads out of their arse and gives better app support and allow third party support. Otherwise excellent product.. Gorgeous Screen, Excellent Audio and Zune Pass let me fill this sucker up (I got the 32gig).
If they are not going to include a phone option in this device, why is it exclusive to the U.S.
The UI looks amazing and fluent and so does the OLED screen. Love Tegra platform too.
nvidia tegra rocks. too bad it only has windows mobile and android support.
and 8 core processing power
