From its luscious multitouch OLED screen to its slick social media tools, the Zune HD is as cool as anything that doesn't have an Apple logo. The HD stands for both high-definition radio--the new Zune handles music and data streams from multicasting radio stations--and high-def video. (We ranked the Zune HD at #22 in The PC World 100: Best Products of 2009.)
Using an an external dock, you can connect the Zune HD to your HDTV and watch movies at 720p. Log on to the Zune Marketplace via Wi-Fi, and you can buy tunes and shows, stream music, get expert recommendations, and connect with other like-minded Zune owners. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus--and he lives in Redmond, Washington.
