ZuneHD in Europe?!

I’ve just been told on Twitter that there is a rumour, and it’s to be stressed that this is a rumour, that Microsoft may still be planning on using the Zune HD to launch the product into EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa)!!!

That means that this sweet ass gadget:

could be in our shores, in our stores and, more importantly, in our hands 🙂 In my opinion, the new Zune is much sexier than anything I’ve seen from Apple…

The specs for this are:

3.3 inch OLED display capacitive touch screen (480×272 16:9 aspect ratio).

Size: 2.07″x4.08″x.35″ (52.7 mm x 102.1 mm x 8.9 mm)

Multi-touch technology.

A Wi-Fi version of the Zune Marketplace.

Games

Unicode Support

I’ve wanted a Zune for ages so if this is true-it’d be AWESOME 😉

*Update* Looks like it truly was a rumour, as the Zune HD isn’t available in Europe (or anywhere else for that matter) 😦
