First all, if you own a Zune and you listen to a lot of podcasts, you probably won’t want to miss this desktop software update for the Zune. It purportedly has a lot of podcasting related fixes. (I know that occasionally I’ll get certain podcasts registered twice in the desktop Zune software.
Personally, I use my Zune primarily to listen to podcasts, and podcasts alone. (I’ve only recently really started to load up more than a gigabyte of music on my 8GB flash-based device.) In fact, I should probably do an entry highlighting the IT related podcasts I listen to as some point. Read More»

This would be pivotal in Microsoft is proliferation of its media ambitions. Not only does it already have millions of 360s in homes capable of downloading movies, itd be able to distribute those videos directly to its phones. Speculation perhaps, but probably a much faster route to a larger GSM market than the Apple unit.
We have just received a sound tip that Microsoft is working on its very own phone to be branded under the Zune moniker. Our tipsters inform us that Microsoft execs are in meetings today hammering out details of the device and developing strategies and timescales for its release.
