According to the post over at Donanimhaber.com, Microsoft's new Zune HD player might be based on Nvidia's Tegra platform. If this turns out to be true, the new Zune HD might have bright future, and will be Nvidia's big win for Tegra. Nvidia is offically neither confirming nor denying this rumor, as they can not mess around with Microsoft's NDA, but according to our info Nvidia fingers might be deep inside the new Zune HD.

As you know, Microsoft has already shown some details about the new Zune and this one will have a 3.3-inch 480x272 pixel touch screen, HD Radio, HDMI output with support for 720p HD movies, WiFi, accelerometer and a web browser.

Nvidia's Tegra is a great platform and it needs only 150mW to decode a video stream and only 20mW to play audio which makes it a perfect candidate for such players like Zune HD. Nvidia already showed some netbook and tablet products based on Tegra at Computex. These were probably all based on Tegra 650, the high end Tegra part as Nvidia likes to call it, while Zune HD will probably based on the mid-range Tegra 600.
