Wooooo!

its a shame that we dont have the bungie podcast up on marketplace, but the people with ipods get them with itunes

Hey Cesar,

I'm not sure if this is the place for this but i got an email containing my ticked to the Zune BBQ in NYC problem is i can't print it because every time i click on the link to take me to print it it freezes IE. Is there any alternate way of getting or should i just try someone elses PC.

To Travis of ZuneSpring:

I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but would you be able to take a screenshot and then print that off? If it's a barcode ticket that should work, right? Hope that helps at all!

@Travis: try Firefox

^^

That too. :)

haha very good idea... and totally erase IE

I was on a work controlled PC so i couldnt download firefox. As it turns out IE7 and the Adobe Addon for PDFs doesnt quite work correctly. Thanks guys. Oh and Malory1 I couldnt even get to the page with the ticked showing becuase every time it opened a pdf exstentsion it immediately crashed. There would have been no time to.

SWEET! Love Common! On a similar note, can't wait for KanYe's new album; that track Stronger w/ Daft Punk is so sick.

Ok. I hope it works out and you can go (I wish I could).

OT: Yay, exclusive tracks!

So, Cesar. Off topic, but is there going to be an update this summer. Not specifying any particular time, just, will the be one during the summer? I'm buying an mp3 player soon and I want to know when the Zune will be getting some new features.

espiox - we're not talking publicly about new features or timing around them, but I do know that they're coming.

I believe that's the straightest answer we've ever gotten from a Microsoft employee in quite some time.

They're coming!!!! Wooo!!!!!

"I believe that's the straightest answer we've ever gotten from a Microsoft employee in quite some time."

Pretty depressing huh? And it makes my choice of player none too easy either.

I Agree with travis. But I get the increasingly bad feeling that early zune adopters will be forgotten.

and to Cesar. Do you have any information on the memorex zune alarm clock? I have been dying for them and i called and got the run around. I called and it wasnt part of their company just support. then they directed me to a distributor which just ended up giving me the number i called in the first place. THeir site says available in july 2007 and well. that month is over. I also noticed that their wireless and waterproof speakers were due out in june 2007. Someone please give me some information on accessories. i need an alarm clock haha. thanks.

Hey, Cesar, I have a challenge for you. Write a post that tells people why Zune is a better choice of player than iPod. I'm not sure you could do it.

I hope the flash Zune has at least 12GB capacity. Zen V is already at 16GB. Pay careful attention Microsoft and Zune Team.

Oh, I just thought of something I need to know before I buy a Zune: Is there a way to get a Zune Pass without a credit card?

Tehmagichobo why do you have to put down the zune like that. come on dude. do you really need to say a negative comment like that. I mean theres alot of reasons why its a better choice but just for some people. If your a technical person then maybe youll like converting choices and such and wont want one for lack of that. I love my zune and i think its awesome how almost everyone who has a zune loves it dearly.

Sure i get upset with some lack of features that other competiton has but theres nothing I can do. I love my zune the way it is.

Espiox yea you can get a zune pass at FYE, Walmart,K-Mart, EbGames and so on. THey sell 1month and 3 month passes.

My 2 cents: Since it's been all but confirmed that the 80gig and flash zunes are coming(in statements given by a microsoft employee) for the holiday season, and they aren't touch screen or anything crazy like that, it seems likely to me that they will release the new features on the launch date of the new zunes. Since it looks like the flash zunes and 80gig zune is roughly the same as the zunes already out there, just a little bit differently sized, it seems likely to me that microsoft will release the new features with them to make them entirely new products without alienating its existing fan base.

Thanks man. I'll have to grab a few while I'm in the US.

Espiox, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from? I'm from Canada and I don't have a Zune yet either; planning on picking one up when I'm in New York next March (unless Zune crosses the border this holiday season, come on Microsoft!). For now I'm just happy with the Marketplace software. :)

@tehmagichobo: For a first gen product, I'd say the Zune is quite remarkable! Go back to your iCave and spread your negativity there, we don't need you here.

I'm in the UK. I'm heading to Florida in a couple weeks and I'm probably gonna pick up a Zune while I'm there.

I think that people need to stop complaining on every single post that cesar makes. The zune is an amazing pmp and everyone who bought a zune made that choice knowing that it is a first gen. and everything isn't going to be perfect. As for the new zune coming out and us first gen. buyers being left behind? I think that is ridiculous and I am very confident that we will be getting firmware updates and the zune team will not leave us behind as if we are nothing.

Hey, I was just looking on the Zune website and in the flash demo, there's a Zune in landscape with the Main Menu rotated to match the orientation. I don't have a Zune yet and I'd never seen it before so I was wondering if that's actually possible or just Photoshop'd to make it look better.

Here's the landscape mode I on about: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c181/Trace_The_Hedgehog/hai2u.jpg
