But you would also have to call Apple's app store cross-platform, since those apps work with multiple Apple devices (iPhone and iPod Touch).]]>Jul 15th 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/
How long have zunes been available to consumers compared to android devices?]]>Jul 15th 2009 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/
Apple chose to use the same UI for both its devices. Microsoft chose not to (yet... that's supposedly in the works). The underlying OS is still basically the same for Zune and WinMo.

So my question still stands: how is this special? How is this more special than running the same apps on both Windows XP and Windows 7, or on Tiger and Snow Leopard, or even on WinMo 5 and WinMo 6?]]>Jul 15th 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/]]>Jul 15th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/
On the other hand it will be interesting since the screen resolution is kind of odd.]]>Jul 15th 2009 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/
Higher power devices utilizing touch screens use WinMo Professional (and likely Zune HD also).

Lower power devices not utilizing touch screen use WinMo Smartphone.

Currently, apps work on both styles of WinMo, but many do specify the need for WinMo Pro because of the touchscreen and high power devices.

I'm guessing you'll get WinMo Smartphone friendly apps along with the Pro ones.]]>Jul 15th 2009 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 19th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/
I mean _eventually_ I see everything merging into one; it's not as if I'm not forward looking. Just not yet. Besides, how difficult is it to carry a Zune and a Pre. I can tell you from experience. Not very.

@Mark

I don't want to lose the audio quality or ease of use of the device or even storage size just to use google maps, or to have a compass or whatever.

I absolutely agree. The idea is amazing. Practice, not so much. We (as in technology) don't have that figured out just yet. Not to mention abysmal battery life. ]]>Jul 15th 2009 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 16th 2009 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/They do this all the time with zune.]]>Jul 16th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/]]>Jul 15th 2009 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/Jul 15th 2009 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-trademark-application-hints-at-cross-platform-oneapp/
