The UI/UX design on the Zune HD is one of the best I've ever used on a handheld device. I also loved the contextual information that would be loaded on to the device for each artist. There'd be a short bio with links to different artists that were strong influences, and you could journey down a rabbit hole of discovery. The hardware was also extremely satisfying for the time. I think it was the first oled screen I ever laid eyes on, and I was a big fan of the sharp angled metal body. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the volume controls that couldn't be easily controlled while the device was inside your pocket. But other than that, the zune hd as a whole is one of the few pieces of tech that I felt joy interacting with every time I picked it up.
