The Apple tablet has been a thing of rumors for a long time now.

Microsoft have officially announced the Zune HD for pre-orders, with the OLED touchscreen PMP set to land in pockets on September 15th.

After their hands-on earlier this month with the Zune HD, CNET are back with a second round of photos showing the OLED PMP's on-screen keyboard and browser.

Microsoft have been attempting to keep the upcoming Zune HD's UI to themselves, but when you turn up with the PMP at an event full of camcorder-toting geeks you've got to expect some leakage.

Chris Davies, Aug 5th 2009 Discuss [0]

After the prematurely-released Zune HD press images yesterday, CNET had the chance to go hands-on with the latest pre-production model, and the best news (for Microsoft at least) is that they reckon it's the best Zune yet. Gaining particular praise are the 3.3-inch OLED display, which is crisp and bright, while the browser - though lacking Flash support - works just like that of the iPod touch when it comes to multitouch gestures.

Chris Davies, Jul 17th 2009 Discuss [1]

After already committing to releasing a 15-inch OLED TV potentially as early as December 2009 in Korea, LG have now revealed their plans to have a 32-inch OLED display on the market in 2012. Suggesting that OLED would provide a new source of revenue, LG Display CEO Kwon Young-soo told press that the company's focus is on larger panels rather than cellphone-sized versions. This, the executive claimed, is because "the larger the display, the more efficient the OLED technology." It's certainly given the company's HR department a boost: LG Display have apparently taken on 1,700 new staff in research and development this year. Read The Full Story
