This is part two; <a href="http://www.zunethoughts.com/news/show/95157/zune-hd-hardware-deep-dive-part-1.html" target="_blank">part one is found here</a>. The model I'm looking at here is the 16 GB model, in black, and it sells for $219 USD as of September 2009.</p><p><em>Jason Dunn owns and operates <a href="http://www.thoughtsmedia.com/" target="_blank">Thoughts Media Inc.</a>, a company dedicated to creating the best in online communities.

Has anybody else noticed that when you're at the Home screen and you tilt the HD in any direction, the Quickplay menu (still minimized at left) softly "shakes?" I still can't figure out if it moves in the direction you tilt the device, but I'm noting the same effect on the text under the main Home options (Albums, Artists, Playlists, etc. under "Music," All, TV, etc. under "Videos," etc.).

Besides that, good job on the videos Jason.
