With the 2010 fall Xbox update, it looks like Microsoft is finally bringing the Zune music experience to Xbox

Some have noticed that the Zune HD has a screen flickering issue while browsing content over WiFi.   I originally thought my Zune might be defective, but from the number of users who have reported the issue, it might just be normal with the OLED screen.  It really doesn’t seem to be a problem, and [...]

One of the anticipated features of the Zune HD was the inclusion of the built in web browser, which I thought might be nice for casual web browsing.   While I have both a Blackberry Bold and a HTC Touch Pro handy,  I liked the screen interface of the Zune HD better for reading sites [...]

With Microsoft’s new expanded “Games on Demand” ability coming to the Xbox 360,  it appears more people are complaining about the “locked in” feeling as compared to physical media.  This problem already exists for downloading DRM movies, and music, but is now going to start increasing impact to games.

I love the Microsoft Zune Pass, since to me it’s the most economical way to discover and enjoy music.  Currently with a single Zune pass for $15 a month, you can connect 3 computers, and 3 Zune devices, with unlimited downloads of music.  It allows you to have separate music libraries on multiple profiles on [...]

This morning I was excited to see a tweet that the XNA games studio 3.0 CTP is out.  With the tweet, came the reminder to make sure you read the accompanying README information. So after folloing the link to the download site, I find this in the readme: 1.1.1. Zune Development Is Not Supported on [...]
