After seeing an early appearance of it on the official Zune website earlier this week (albeit without a working product link), the DailyTech has learned when Microsoft plans to introduce a 64GB version of its Zune HD to market, that being April 12.

In confirmation of its existence and release date, Microsoft has also said that the upcoming Zune HD 64GB will launch at a price of $349.99; down 50 bucks on Apple's 64GB iPod Touch.

Upon the addition of this model into the ZUne HD lineup, Microsoft also plans to reduce pricing on its existing 16 and 32GB models by $20.
