Zune HD preview reveals “Apps” menu but no apps

Rumor

As it turns out, this weekend’s rumored Zune HD preview at Best Buy was the real deal. Tens or even dozens of anxious soon-to-be Zune HD owners (we kid; we want it now) gathered to see the sexy new PMP first hand and one of them even managed to snap an extremely blurry shot of a curious menu item. Mmmm, “Apps”. The attendee tried to access the mysterious menu but lack of Wi-Fi rendered his attempts fruitless. Word on the street is that the Apps menu will be home to various games at launch but we’re still not sure what else will find its way there — certainly something however, lest the menu heading read “Games”. Also of note, one preview attendee claims that the host of this event confirmed the existence of a Zune SDK. This is definitely rumor status right now but it would certainly go a long way to support the inevitable arrival of a Zune app store of sorts.

    I keep telling myself I don’t need this thing. But every time I see it, I want it. Now with apps??? Damn you Zach!!!

    Looks sweet. I see it working nicely with the XBox 360 (I hope). If only it had a phone…

    The device looks great. Will it challenge the ipod?

    I went to the Best Buy in Alexandria, VA and it was a total waste of time. Yeah they had the Zune but you couldnt touch it. Only the Guy telling you about the device could. According to him it was Nvidia rules. You couldn’t even take a picture of it according to him. But I manage to get some video of it, but nothing worth posting up.

    The current iPod Touch walks all over this and there are new models slated for next month.
