After a week or so of on-again off-again reports that Microsoft has ceased production on Zune hardware and will instead focus on software, a new report (and a company rep) confirm that the Zune HD is, indeed, dead.

When the product pages were first pulled, Microsoft quickly recanted, claiming they were removed in error. Later, it pulled the pages and added a statement on future Zune developments, but then that was also yanked (as you can see in the Stream below).
