Microsoft’s new iPod Touch killer has hit the FCC, which means it won’t be too long until ZuneHD will be available Stateside. Nothing much to be said now but maybe it’s best to decide now what you want, the 16GB or the larger-capacity 32GB. Another interesting detail. The ZuneHD actually runs on Windows CE , which vindicates this popular but often-lambasted operating system. [via engadget ]

The ZuneHD has just passed through the FCC , making a pile of official but rather poor quality pictures available. One particularly interesting picture shows the device’s underlying OS, almost certainly Windows CE, but rumoured to be the latest 7 version of the OS. The screenshot shows the classic Windows CE user interface, right up to the task bar and task menu, and promises significant hackability for the device, including running other Windows CE applications such as many common GPS applications.

We’ve been waiting for some more compact cameras with integrated GPS features to hit the market, and this blurry shot of an upcoming Samsung ST1000 gives us a little hope. It’s actualy looking like a pretty hot piece of kit in addition to the geotagging features, with a 12 megapixel sensor with ISO 4800 sensitivity behind a stabilized 5x zoom lens, 3.5-inch touchscreen with gesture support, face detection that prioritizes the most-common faces, and WiFi support all cooked in.

You know how serious Microsoft is about those new retail stores it’s currently building ? New logo serious, fool. This artful rethink of the familiar Windows logo just popped up in a trademark filing saying it’ll be used to identify “retail store services and online retail services” for computers, media players, cell phones, video games, and more. Sounds like this is one box you’ll be seeing in person sometime soon. [Via PC World ] Filed under: Misc.

Well, would you look at that. Microsoft’s Zune HD ’s overexposed — both in quantity of pics and in quality of photography — camera shoot with the FCC has been made public, showing off quite a bit of the device, its internals, and its dock . We’ve got two model numbers listed here, 1395 and 1402 representing the 16GB and 32GB models, respectively, and in case you’re wondering, that’s Windows CE you’re seeing above, the OS on which Zune HD’s UI is built.

Everyone likes to try and predict the future and with the Custom Electronic Design & Installation ( CEDIA ) show only a month away, the crew at Engadget HD threw all of their crazy ideas out there for your reading pleasure. For the most part all of the predictions are around Windows Media Center and how it will integrate with other products like the Zune HD , Digital Cable and HD satellite services, but there are some other fun things throw in.
