Microsoft Zune HD to get own App Store!!!

PDFPrintE-mail

In a recent Patent filing, Microsoft seems to be pushing for a new application store to combat the Apple App Store called OneApp.
This is going to be a good start off for the Zune HD, XBOX and Windows integration. It will be an "online retail store services facilitating the download of computer software for use on mobile phones, media players and other portable electronic devices."
Very nice.

Not too sure why you would need a patent for this, but I guess its always good to protect yourself.

Microsoft's Latest ad: Apple is just expensive, Microsoft isn't.

PDFPrintE-mail

iPod cost $30,000 to fill

Well it's always nice to have the truth come out.

Microsoft's latest ad campaign is to show that owning a Zune really is economical. The iPod and iTunes cost so much money that it's almost stupid not to own a Zune. Microsoft uses Wes Moss, Certified Financial Planner, to explain that iTunes "costs a lot" while Zune Pass "costs a little."The argument is very common, saying that at a buck a song on iTunes, that defiantly over does the simple $14.99 a month for the Zune pass (pss.9000 songs and counting). 

If you want watch the video below.

BTW: If you think you remember him, he was on the Apprentice and like everyone else, was fired.

   

The Zune community hates #officethemove

PDFPrintE-mail

Well it seems that after some rumors from twitter user #officethemovie, which was to be an imitation account for an Official Microsoft twitter about the next generation office, Office 14, due to be released in 2010.

 #officethemovie posted a tweet as quoted

" June 2009 will be an important month for Zune lovers".

This all came from a dam stupid, Apple iPhone lubbin drunk scammer. And again as quoted

"New product launch, that's all I'm allowed to say. Hold off from buying an iPhone/Pre. :)"

 

Brian Seitz, group marketing manager for Zune, came along and did a complete denial of the entire thing, totally breaking a Zuners spirit.

The real Office 2010 twitter has said only this "Great to see so much activity around our film, it only stars Office at this point though, no Zune"

The fake #officethemovie has even said him self "This account was created to get my point on iPhone piracy across to Apple: http://bit.ly/omWOP I hope you are listening APPLE! - Mr. Haklab"

And it seems people are not to happy about it either.

 Hopefully some REAL news soon ;]
