Thats for ALL zunes.

Some one lied to you in that thread. Whoever said that apparently has NO knowledge of programming.
A clock would be fairly simple to implement for anyone that has knowledge of the programming for the Zune.
Why would you want one anyway, would eat up a lot more resources.
Don't you have a watch, or cell phone?

I really dont give a **** about a stupid clock.

detroit_zune313 · 01-30-2008, 02:22 PM

I think a clock would be good..I mean why not, it would save time trying to take out my cell phone when all i have to do its push one button

ronaldmonster · 01-30-2008, 02:22 PM

It would be cool to have it, not like it can't be done but it's not necessarily a reason to hate the device.

mikehobo · 01-30-2008, 04:45 PM

I think having a zune clock on the front next to the menu would be awesome. It's not a necessity but who knows.

nal_ra · 01-30-2008, 04:53 PM

yes.. but a clock is always welcome, but i mean.. you can use phones or other devices to know the time.

e6cortes9 · 02-01-2008, 09:02 PM

not having a clock is totally fine since most people either have watches or cell phones

mr.handsomeman · 02-01-2008, 09:28 PM

If it wasn't that big of a deal, or if it didn't help people, then why would Apple have done it in the first place?

jb14079 · 02-01-2008, 11:16 PM

Zune rules without a clock, i've gotten used to it, i have a watch so all i have to do is look at my watch instead of taking out my zune...

ZGamer · 02-01-2008, 11:18 PM

I dont think there is going to be a clock, until MS wants too,
or until they crack the Zune's firmware.

jb14079 · 02-01-2008, 11:21 PM

yeah maybe...but who knows...

ZuneNerd · 02-02-2008, 07:19 AM

its not going to kill me to have a clock on it and i dont need one anyways.

FlyingIsFun1217 · 02-02-2008, 08:51 AM

I don't even know if it's possible. Does the zune have a backup battery (watch battery)?

jb14079 · 02-02-2008, 12:26 PM

i don't think it might be possible...i mean everyone has a cell these days so why bother...

PoN · 02-02-2008, 12:28 PM

i agreed if anyone looked at aces post he said something about not wanting that. Cause look we ether have cell phones or we have a watch. So y do we need more?

runtohell121 · 02-02-2008, 02:27 PM

cuz sometime people forget to bring a watch or cell phone? and only got a zune with them? they might need time

jb14079 · 02-02-2008, 02:30 PM

or they can ask George Carlin....lol

Meshinka · 02-03-2008, 12:19 PM

A clock program would be flash based, and since the Zune don't support flash yet, no way. maybe the next firmware update it will.

metalthorn · 02-03-2008, 12:24 PM

I wouldnt care if there was a clock or not, because it could be useful on some ocasions when I need a watch or something with time, but usually I have my watch and my cell phone, or im with somebody that has one.

wentzworshipper · 02-03-2008, 12:26 PM

hey there is a way to have a zune clock! but you're going to have to make your own. first get a block of wood about 4.5' x 2.5' x .5'. then draw on a little clock representing time. and the album art for song playing. there you go; as far as anyone will get with putting a clock on the zune..
