Default Special NVIDIA artwork on Zune Originals
I was looking to get a Zune HD, and having known for a while that it uses a Tegra chip, I looked to learn more about what this Tegra chip is. From NVIDIA's webpage for the Tegra they have a link to a hidden zune with NVIDIA artwork for only 1 cent more than the normal price (compared to 15 dollars for any other artwork). Cheers.

EDIT: I just realized that there is another topic with the same information. Strangely enough, the other poster and I both said "cheers," and I discovered this link randomly as stated above. How strange. Sorry for the redundant thread.

Cheers, Dave.
As stated in such a webpage, just under the Nvidia artwork Originals design:
"Powered by the revolutionary NVIDIA® Tegra™ ultra low-power HD mobile processor, the Zune HD delivers on-the-go access to:
 ···
 ···
Exceptional Battery Life
Get unbeatable battery life with the Zune HD for extended HD video and audio playback time."

Well...

Well...
Compare it to every other device this size that can output HD...Oh wait...
Basically, I reckon the battery life is fine, and is longer than a friends touch playing 3D games.

Not that I am complaining, or at least not too much . In fact, I am truly considering buying a Zune HD despite being based in Spain (just waiting for some reviews on the Samsung M1 before making a choice). However, I am sure that most people expected Zune HD's battery life to last longer due to statements such like the one on Nvidia's site...

Anyway, this is not something to be discussed in this thread, so let's everyone enjoy the Zune Originals!!... well, only if it does not turn out that "the Zune Store is currently unavailable from your location"...

Cheers!

I meant enjoying the Zune Originals in person, buying one of those customized players. So despite I could access the site I don't think I would enjoy just watching a picture of it... in fact, I don't think anyone would fully enjoy such an "experience"... I could be mistaken though ...

So, unless they ship to Europe, I will still be facing the same problem...

Regards

Curiouss, it is already set to US. I think it's basing it on my IP address which is outside North America. I'm in Asia

Strange. The pics Ricardo posted aren't nearly as stylized as the ones on the hidden Zune Originals site:






...I still don't like 'em, though.
