High Definition Zune handhelds on the way?

Some images of what is apparently a high-definition version of Microsoft's portable Zune music player hit the internet this week.

It appears the new device would go head-to-head with Apple's iPod touch.

The new Zune is said to have a multi-touch screen (sound familiar?) and a 16x9 screen ratio. It will have a TV port on the side and will sync to a computer via WiFi. There has been some speculation that the new device will support Xbox games.

The new Zune, available with 8, 16 or 32 gigs of memory, allegedly will ship with a web browser and may launch this fall. It will also deliver HD radio.
