CrasherZuneHDApple fanboys are groaning everywhere, as Microsoft finally busts out a solid Zune. I don’t know what the hell they were thinking with the last batch, but this latest model–awesome. Even Crasher Squirrel likes it. :D

Yes, I bought in. My MP3 player has seen better days, and I have to say, I’ve never bought into the iPod phenomenon because I’ve always found them to be…a little feminine. That’s great for the girls, but the Zune HD, now here’s a man’s player. Do you think that Crasher Squirrel would endorse anything else?

The interface is beautiful, smooth, and makes so much more sense to me than the iPod. The video capability is startling, and the wireless sync –nuff said.

Here’s a fun article that points to a growing popularity.

Zune HD Quickly Selling Out at Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy and More

Here’s a statement I never thought I’d write: The newest Zune is selling out everywhere. Congrats to this underdog manufacturer “Micro-Soft” for finally hitting the big time!

Of course, as commenters have pointed out, it’s possible, if not probable, that Microsoft is using the time-tested tactic of short supply to make sure it sells out everywhere. Until we get some hard numbers, there’s no way to tell. In the meantime, here’s how it shakes down notice Microsoft’s online store seems to have plenty of units:

Amazon has both the 16GB and 32GB versions backordered, as does Best Buy, while Newegg and Buy.com both have only the 32GB left and it probably won’t last too long. Looks like the place to get it is Microsoft’s online store, where both versions are available and you can get those sweet Zune Originals engravings. Great to see the Zune HD getting the attention it deserves. Maybe.
