Cube already caught us off guard last month with a 1080i-capable PMP, and this month it’s outdoing itself once more. The H200D has yet to be fully detailed, but we do know that it’ll rock an expansive touchscreen, an HDMI output, RMVB support and arrive in red, blue or grey. Too bad it’ll take a flight to China to ever find one, but here’s hoping someone over on US soil takes a hint.

Microsoft has a new twitter account in support of its Office 2010 product launch. What’s strange though, is that the people behind the account seem to care more about the future of the Zune than Office. Two tweets (of five) from this account have caught our attention. The first says,
June 2009 will be an important month for Zune lovers.
Then as a followup to the barrage of questions received, @officethemovie adds,
New product launch, that’s all I’m allowed to say. Hold off from buying an iPhone/Pre.
Naturally, we’re expecting the launch of the Zune HD and/or the unveiling of project Pink. Whatever happens, the month of June is going to be historic with Apple’s WWDC scheduled to kick off on June 8th and the Palm Pre rumored for release on June 5th or June 7th.

We’ve been wondering when we’d see the next Laptop Hunters ad from Microsoft, but it looks like the company’s throwing a change-up: its latest 30-second spot features Wes Moss, Certified Financial Planner, explaining that iTunes “costs a lot” while Zune Pass “costs a little.” The argument, of course, is that at a buck a song (or more), filling up your iPod costs way more than the $15 / month cost of the Zune subscription service, but we’ve got a feeling that Wes just won’t convince as many people as Lauren and Giampaulo — while we certainly think Zune Pass is a great deal, especially with the 10 free tracks a month now included, most people have plenty of music from all kinds of sources already, and an additional monthly bill in the current economy doesn’t seem all too appealing. Plus, well, this argument has never really worked for services like Yahoo and Rhapsody in the past, so we’re not sure it’s going to work now. But that’s just us — we’re sure you’ve got your own opinions, so check out the vid after the break and sound off.

With Cowon’s S9 going 32GB a couple of weeks ago, and the iPod touch doing 32GB for eons, Samsung’s finally matching its touchscreen brethren with the 32GB P3. Unfortunately, it’s only available in Korea at the moment, for the quite reasonable price of 389,000 won — about $291 US. On an unrelated note: we hear it’s nice over there this time of year.
