Minneapolis, Minnesota (CaymanMama.com) — Microsoft Zune music player users will be excited to take advantage of Microsoft’s plans to launch a newer version of its portable music device later this year.

The new player will include a touch screen, Internet browser, Wi-Fi connectivity and high-definition radio receiver.

Microsoft said Tuesday that the Zune HD, the software giant’s adversary to the popular Apple iPod, will be available in the U.S. before the end of the year. The cost of the device is unknown.

Microsoft said the device would have an HD video output capability which would allow the device to play high-definition quality video on HD televisions with the use of a docking station.

Microsoft also said it was incorporating the Zune with its Xbox Live video media “bringing an exciting catalog of TV and film to the platform.”

“This marks an important development in the Zune strategy and brings the Zune brand to more than 17 million international Xbox Live subscribers,” Microsoft said.
