To be honest, I’m really not an expert on the Zune HD or any Zune models for that matter. I’m more of an iPod kind of girl, if you haven’t noticed or guessed by now.

But since every tech blog out there seems to be talking about the coming Zune HD, my curiosity’s been piqued! Why the heck is everyone going gaga over this Zune HD anyway?

Zune HD Features:

• Built-in HD radio receiver
• HD video output capabilities
• OLED touch screen
• Built-in WiFi
• Internet browser

The Zune HD will be available in 16GB and 32GB. The 16GB will be available in black while the 32GB model will come in a platinum finish. It will also come out in 5 other colors, but there’s no official word on what colors they are. There just HAS to be a pink model. And a white one.

Looks interesting enough. But I don’t think I’ll be trading in my iPod for the Zune. Though I have to admit, the Zune has a built-in radio receiver compared to the iPod (for the iPod you have to buy an extra accessory) so that’s a +1 to the Zune.

Available for pre-order at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Microsoft Store.

Price: 16GB ($219.99) and 32GB($289.99)

If the Wireless Arc Mouse was a little too high fashion for your taste, then you might like the Mouse Mouse 4000 which looks more like a normal mouse. Except that it comes in 5 great colors (teal blue, berry pink, lime green, black and white) uses the BlueTrack Technology.

BlueTrack Technology (exclusively from Microsoft) lets you use a mouse anywhere and everywhere, on granite, on shiny surfaces or even your carpet!

Where to buy: Microsoft
Price: $39.95

It actually reminds me of those destroyer droids in Star Wars, in a half circle kind of way. Hahaha.

Anyway!

The Arc Mouse has a sleep, collapsible design for easier storage and it also has a snap-in magnetic micro-transceiver that snaps into the bottom of the mouse.

Available in Frost White,  Eggplant Purple, Deep Olive Green and Marine Blue.

Microsoft has finally announced last June 30, 2008 that they will stop selling the Windows XP Operating system!

I know a lot of us have avoided upgrading Windows Vista like the plague. I, for one, was also iffy about upgrading to Vista when I was still a PC user. I mean hello, how exactly can you convince someone to upgrade to Vista when you hear so much about it’s annoyingly persistent security pop-ups and other horrible things?! Haha!

Tech support for Windows XP however will be available until 2009. And then after that,  XP users are on their own!

So how many of you guys out there are still holding on to Windows XP?
