DISASSEMBLED: The Zune HD

On this, the day of the Zune HD launch, you are probably either fast asleep or just starting your morning's work. However, feedback over the last few weeks leads us to believe that once you do wake up/finish work, plenty of you are planning on picking up the just-launched Zune HD.

So before you purchase, perhaps you'd like to see what it looks like inside?

That's right, despite the fact that the Zune HD just launched a few hours ago, someone has already torn the device asunder. Laid its insides out on the operating table and shamelessly photographed them from every angle. Yay!

In case anyone is wondering, the "For Our Princess" you see on the inside cover of is in memory of a Zune team member who passed away while the device was in development. The rest of her teammates have dedicated the Zune HD to her.

    I love the dedication to a member of the team, whether most will see it or not.

    Does anyone notice in the last shot that empty space that looks like it could physically hold a SIM card?
