RSSFan fake or leak? Another Zune HD image surfaces

Another promotional shot of the Zune HD has leaked out, this time to Windows Mobile Power User, fleshing out the appearance of Microsoft's newest PMP a bit more, and revealing a few more details.
According to the report, the Zune HD is equipped with a capacitive OLED screen that supports multi-touch and offers a 16:9 aspect ratio. Further, the device and updated Zune Marketplace will offer HD media and support for "3D Xbox games." The report claims that the visible port on the side of the device is an HDMI out, but that looks to be mostly wishful thinking, since the device's slim profile leads one to believe it is actually Micro USB.
All specs, and even the image itself, have been subject to scrutiny by fan sites. While the image has passed through most critics' filters, the specs have not, and should be regarded as simply conjecture based upon the appearance of the device and what is currently known about it. All other guesses aside, if the device does in fact offer a capacitive multi-touch screen, that alone is a big deal.
It could be HDMI, my vid camera has a mini hdmi port on it, they could use the same format as that..
This would be the reason I'd upgrade my 30GB Zune Gen1...absolutely...

|Glad to see that the best portable media player has gotten even better. Apple's iPod has always been vastly inferior to the Zune.

|Whatever...
Whatever you say, as obviously the market agrees with you.
Yup, low fi music on ANY of the overpriced underperforming toys rocks...

|I never said the Zune or iPod were better than a good home stereo system. A home theater receiver with Audyssey MultEQ (or MultEQ XT) beats a portable music player anyday.

|Now this is a much better design! IMO the looks was all that was holding the original Zune back. When your target audience is the younger crowd looks matter!

|I'm still surprised that Microsoft haven't taken advantage of the xbox as a delivery system for music and brand via the xbox live market place.
I'd buy the new zune if I could just plug it into the xbox and download tracks onto it from live market place... it works for guitar hero.

|I must say, at least if this is what a Zune will look like soon, that's good, because the previous versions were a bit on the ugly side. I think a face lift will help push Zune up and out of the step child status.
