[64M320N3]

1: Is it worth upgrading from the original Zune?
2: Is it actually HD picture? Or is it just upscaled?
3. How is the quality of the screen, compared to say, the regular Zune.
4. Last but not least, how large is the screen?

1. Dunno
2. The screen is 480x272, but it can play 720p files. It has to down converts for the screen, outputs the 720p through HDMI on the optional dock. So you never truly see HD on the Zune's screen.
3. Dunno
4. 3.3", 480x272

Only a few bad games have been made for testing purposes , but i heard such games as Gotham city racing are coming out in november
It's supposed to be better than an itouch (graphics wise) because it has the Nvidia Tegra chip
The touch screen is very sensitive and responsive.

It is very nice, the Tegra. But you have to factor in that the new iPod Touch has a Cortex A8 at 600mhz in it, 256mb RAM, and an OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible PowerVR GFX accelerator. All in all, it is on par with/more powerful than the Tegra. Now, Tegra scales better to high clock speed, like for netbooks, but in a handheld device? The A8 wins, IMO.

You know what else uses that chipset? The Pandora! I really want to like Tegra, but with so much software dev being done for the A8 on the BeagleBoard, Pandora, and now iPod Touch, I am probably going to have to pass. Heck, it is N64 emulation capable!

I want one... I might get one if I can get a 32 for like 250

I just checked one of the Best Buys here in Madison and they haven't received any since the initial shipment. Right now they are very hard to come by. Especially the 32GB model. I could just order one off Amazon I suppose, since last I checked they had them in stock. Where's the fun in that though?!?
