If there's anyone that can reinvigorate the platform, at least design and usability-wise, it's the Zune team. Hopefully they'll be giving the Zune guys a bigger role in WinMo 7, I'd like to see a phone with a similar interface as the Zune firmware, albeit with some tweaks for touch and/or multi-touch use. An HTC Touch-style phone running a phone version of the Zune interface would be sexy - still not enough to make me consider it over my current lust object (Palm Pre, I'm counting the days at this point), but definitely a nice idea.]]>Feb 13th 2009 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/microsoft-readies-zune-service-for-non-zune-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/microsoft-readies-zune-service-for-non-zune-devices/

Thanks, man. Just trying to do my part, one comment at a time. ;)

Seriously, it scares me to think that people are so obsessed with Microsoft that they refuse to acknowledge that this interface is an absolute turd. And they even go through great lengths defending it!

I know that Microsoft was looking to Jerry Seinfeld to revive their brand, but getting tips from The Bee Movie, is not what most people had in mind.

Potential Microsoft Ad: Now when you look at other phone interfaces, you will automatically say, "Needs more honey!"




Oh, Microsoft, the comedy potential for this interface is endless. Thank-you. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart!

Angus could have provided an answer, but instead he posted the URL's to those forums, basically telling me to "go search for it". That's one of my pet peeves, just like when someone asks an honest question and you get someone who tells them to go "google it".

That doesn't make you a douche.

It makes you one when you are too unsophisticated to appreciate different taste in design and style, and feel the need to bash anything that doesn't fit into that personal view repeatedly, and in a childish manner.

The Xbox is sorta the same story. When Sony started to threaten their DirectX monopoly on PC gaming, they devised to package DirectX in a box. In fact, while in development, the Xbox was known the "DirectX-box." Of course, Nintendo kinda killed Microsoft ambitions in that area.

Microsoft seems to only respond in the hardware arena when a rival product threatens something vital in their PC software ecosystem.

iTunes came along and you could do all that in one app. Bang, problem solved. Say what you want about Apple, but they can come up with some great solutions.

The music you downloaded off of Napster was an MP3, and could be transferred directly over to any one of a hundred different MP3 players.

If you want to burn it to wav and play it on a CD then it doesn't matter if you download it from iTunes or Napster or any other website/service for that matter.

You talk as if Apple created the MP3 player and created the MP3 format or something.

Good God you are dense. ]]>Feb 13th 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/microsoft-readies-zune-service-for-non-zune-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/microsoft-readies-zune-service-for-non-zune-devices/Feb 13th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/microsoft-readies-zune-service-for-non-zune-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/microsoft-readies-zune-service-for-non-zune-devices/
And then later, the first DVD/MP3 players came out and you could listen to MP3s on your television! This stuff was almost like science fiction. It's all old hat now, but back then, we were stoked.

Also FYI Paul, I was listening to music on MP3 players during my workouts as far back as late 2000 / early 2001.

I was also downloading music in MP3 format from Napster as far back as 1999.

Just because your access to them was limited or your memory only goes as far back as 2005, doesn't mean the rest of ours does too.

So, me and my friends were still very much burning CDs between 1999 and 2003. For me it was more like 2006. I didn't get an iPod until like the 5th generation and only then because it had video, which blew me away. I'm sorry I didn't have an MP3 player like you back in 2000, but I was still fairly young at the time Napster came out.

It's so funny. Everyone is so much in a rush to discredit me, even when I'm reminiscing about childhood memories. I guess the fact that I'm a PC user who's not totally satisfied with Windows, scares a lot of MS fanboys here. Relax guys, Windows will be around a long time.
