CrunchGear reports that the Zune HD is not readable in sunlight... and they have a picture showing how bad it is:
Just a couple of weeks ago we posted about direct-light issues with OLEDs. Even though we hear that the new OLED displays are better than older ones, they still appears to be very problematic in sunlight...
Interestingly, the CrunchGear blogger is still happy with the Zune and prefers it to an iPod. The Zune HD is available now for 290$ (32Gb).
