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)
Weight: 2.6 ounces (74 grams)
Runs on Nvidia Tegra APX with 8 independent processors.
Multi-touch technology.
16/32 GB
Built-in accelerometer.
HD radio tuner.
720p high definition video support and output (additional dock required).
Wi-Fi connectivity 802.11b/g with Open, WEP, WPA, and WPA2 authentication modes and WEP 64- and 128-bit, TKIP, and AES encryption modes.
A Wi-Fi version of the Zune Marketplace.
Web browser (based on Internet Explorer Mobile 6 for Windows CE).
Games
Unicode Support
Equalizer
Music, up to 33 hours (wireless off); video, up to 8.5 hours

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)
