Zune Notepad?

DareckT · 05-15-2008, 11:03 AM

I think it would be sweet just to have something to type reminders in or whatever, and it would need a save feature(and maybe the ability to have more than one save). It would need a good size typing space so the keypad can't take up the whole screen. It couldn't be that hard to do right?

Hey, you stole my idea :P
Yes, this is exactly one of those things that would be good to have.
Along with adding events to that calendar thing...

Ya, totally somebody should do this, that would come in handy alot!

DareckT · 05-16-2008, 12:45 PM

Do any of you guys that have made games already think you could do it?

What if someone could come up with a notepad just for reading... What if there was a way to put books on your Zune? Personally, it would be awesome to be able to read a favorite book while traveling but not have to lug that heavy thing around.

I've gotten some not-so-legal MS Word copies of a few books I have (so I don't feel THAT bad seeing as I've already paid for them) and I've used a program to painstakingly convert them into .jpg files so I can put them on my Zune and voila, read. But it just takes so damn long, and I have to deal with a lame watermark and whatnot.

It would be just freakin awesome if there was a way to actually read it like a book or be able to scroll or something, rather than have to read 'picture files.'

There is already something like this. Either use the zBooker or go on download.com and search ebook to images.

Think I didn't waste my time already looking for a program to do it? zBooker is absolute crap. Ok, maybe not that bad, but it needs help. It had horrible formatting options and it would rand omly j ust cu t wo rds in ha lf. Tell me that isn't annoying. xP

The latest version doesn't do that anymore.
