Here is some video of the the Zune HD from its 8/22 preview weekend. You see a pretty decent walkthrough of the device interface. You also see its HD playback capability as two devices play three different 720p HD videos, while using the new HD-AV dock. Wi-fi wasn’t working but you do see a quick shot of an ‘apps’ section under the Marketplace heading. Also, towards the end of the video, notice how the ‘nearby’ section usually found under the Social heading is missing. Overall, this is a great preview of the good things coming on September 15th.

This week we have 3 sections we will be discussing: The Web Browser, The Social, and Privacy Settings. Special thanks to Aaron Artille and other commenters for giving me ideas ^_^
