From the Zune Insider blog:

What can hold up to 16,000 songs, or 20 hours of high definition video, or 25,000 pictures?

A Zune HD 64GB that’s what!

This morning we announced that starting April 12th you will be able to order a 64GB version Zune HD from Zune Originals for $349.99. All colors and custom etching will be available for you to create the ultimate Zune HD to your liking.

In addition to the new capacity, we are lowering the estimated retail price on the Zune HD 16GB to $199.99 and Zune HD 32GB to $269.99.

"I hope they follow this up with a state-of-the-art pager." When was the iPad coming out with a vibrate notification option again?

Since they are made in Switzerland, by highly paid workers who get 5 10min breaks a day and work only 3 days a week, 7 hours a day, I might just get one. If I do I guess I will have to go some other place to get all of the "Zune Secrets" since Paul uses an iPod.

They should have had a 64GB when the Zune HD was released. That said, I love my 32GB. People always ask about it and comment on just how nice the device is. Even with the impending release of WP7S, they won't hold a candle to the physical form of the ZuneHD.

"What can hold up to 16,000 songs, or 20 hours of high definition video, or 25,000 pictures?" And run over 100,000 apps and access the ITMS store? A 64g iPod Touch, introduced 7 months ago...

"And run over 100,000 apps and access the ITMS store? A 64g iPod Touch, introduced 7 months ago..." And cause BSODS with every major release of the Windows client software? Yup, that's the iPod Touch alright.

I'll sick with my iTouch unless the new Windows Phone 7's look compelling. Zune is pretty much dead it the water and the eco system around it just isn't going to grow enough to justify the move (imho).

Next Saturday. And the iPhone already has a vibrate notification option. In fact, it has had it for some three years. Microsoft is so lagging behind in every aspect of the hardware and software industry they make bell bottom jeans look like a thing from the future.

"And cause BSODS with every major release of the Windows client software? Yup, that's the iPod Touch alright." Sorry to hear your OS is so fragile ;). Joke! The software isn't nearly as good on Windows as on Mac....sort of like Office is, but the other way around...

"Sorry to hear your OS is so fragile ;). Joke!" Obviously a joke, since most users running Windows Vista x64 didn't have a single BSOD until they loaded iTunes 8.
