Just mark it for deletion, and then when you hook your Zune to a computer KAPOWERZERS, gone

That was front page news a few days back. Just look at the "heart" one here.

2. allow windows media player
3. add a lot more file types like wma(duh) and avi
4 clock
5. a few simple games
6. allow internet (i doubt i will happen)
7. allow zune to be external hard drive

MS needs to hook up with Audible and provide a solution for the HUGE audio book market. I can't believe they haven't done this yet.

A text/.pdf viewer would be awsome. Maybe XNA can do that.

More codecs

It would REALLY be cool to have a radio recorder, just like my dad's and my sister's creative zen and sandisk (respectively).

Also, microsoft should stop being so uptight and "grumpy" about their device. Give people the ability to develop their own firmware, or at least give us more freedom to edit the one we're stuck with.

Web browsing is definitely a want...

let us populate our zune and use it as a portable hard drive

let us access the system partition through the portable hard drive option

UNLOCK THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE (seriously, why the hell did microsoft even implement that?)

i definitely agree with the ability to play avi. I would also like to be able to play flac files (yes, i know all about wma lossless, i just like to support good freeware)

a better equalizer. The creative zen has certain frequency ranges that it can boost, and the user can alter how much of each frequency to boost. I would like THIS equalizer option, and then the ability to name and save my equalizer settings, so i can select it easily among a number of multiple custom settings that i could make in the future.

Now, this may be a bit of an odd idea, but how about something like zune radio? Utilizing the zune 2 zune wifi, you can broadcast what ur listening to, and anyone with a zune in the area can choose to listen to your station. It would also be cool if the people listening to your "radio station" could rate it, either by stars, or by texting short comments that your zune would receive and save for you to view and see how people like your music. I think that this feature would actually be quite a bit more "social" than the lame "send a song for you to listen to 3 times."
I feel that because the above idea is "streaming music" and because the zune would not save it, that there should be no need for any limits on the songs to be broadcasted or to be listened to.

Well, those are my ideas. Hopefully i can see some in future updates!

i would like this as well. i have a zune 80, and the equalizers would make a huge difference in audio quality for my headphones. my cresyn headphones don't pick up bass too well, which is why this would be am awesome feature for me. i dunno why they were removed since the 30, cuz this feature was one of the ones i liked most about the zunea bass boost feature would be a nice touch as well

much as I hate to admit, I wouldn't mind it having web support.
