Amazon listing for the Zune HD hints at games and apps

Now that we know the Zune HD is official, and we even have a good idea of when we can expect to see it become available there are still plenty of details that we are waiting to learn. What does that mean? Well, unfortunately it looks like we are back into playing the rumor and speculation game.

Anyway, the latest speculation is coming courtesy of the Amazon.com product listing for the Zune HD. If you read down into the product description section it highlights features such as the "brilliant OLED touchscreen," the "better sound from HD radio" as well as the ability to watch your Zune content on your HDTV, surf the web and the Xbox Live integration.

Overall, this is all stuff that we have seen before, however...

If you read the section titled "surf the web on your Zune" you will see an interesting tidbit.

"The device also has a built-in accelerometer, so it senses when it is moving. This lets you play games and use apps that are controlled by moving the device."

Yup, the accelerometer will benefit the games and apps. Unfortunately that is all there is, but still it gives us something to (hopefully) look forward to. It would appear as if the Zune will be getting an app store of its own. Of course, this could be nothing more than just the preloaded items.

Um ZuneSpring found this not Gizmodo. I think you should give them proper credit.
