With the Zune HD launch today it was only a matter of time before someone put the two head to head to see which is better. Digital Trends has a nice comparison of the two. The winner after the break down is Microsoft’s Zune HD. I’m not surprised by the outcome. The Zune HD has a lot to offer that Apple’s iPod Touch can’t compete with. The only reason why we got a price drop is because of the Zune HD. The Zune offers a better screen which is a 3.3″ OLED. One of the coolest features is that it will output video to your TV at 720p.

Even though the Zune HD is a solid player it has a tough road ahead. What it doesn’t have is the iTunes app store. You have a fancy UI and a beautiful screen but if you don’t have the apps your device will fail. These devices aren’t just about playing MP3s and some video anymore.
