[Rumor]Wireless Video Downloads Coming to Zune?

[Trogdor]

In a recent newsletter email from zune.net, you can see in the left of this image it says under wi-fi marketplace, "Get music and videos direct to your player." It also says, "Learn to share music, video, and pictures wirelessly"
But can the zune handle this, large files transfered over wi fi could possibly cause strain on older zunes. (Try sending 200 mb of .jpgs at once, you will understand) Is this a feature that may only be implemented on newer zune models?
Or is this a typographical error by the zune team? Is it an accidental leak? It seems that only time will tell.

thats interesting because i remember reading about sending videos worelessly on some official zune site or letter etc. and for the hell of it i went to see if they implimented it without me knowing but they havent yet, i wish i could think of where i read that

[Zombii Matt]

Hmmmm this is interesting

[lonewolf85]

they could mean podcasts

[Zeek]

They probably are just talking about the video podcasts which you can already get and share.

Too bad you can't share podcasts.
Sorry..

[Bolt]

Can too.

[Hekura]

yea, i thought you could... if i recall, on MY zune(30), i have a little "send" option for my podcasts... anywho, transferring large files over ther Zune's wifi is stressful on the hardware already. I tried sending an entire "unknown album" from my zune to Brian's zune, and it had, like, 300 songs in it... it took a while, and in the end, the batteries were nearly drained... btw does anyone know of any disadvantages to using a li-polymer battery in comparison to the stock li-ion?

You CAN send podcasts, but it kills the battery.

if that is really true than should Microsoft come out with a new update to the firmware to better manage the distribution of the batter power to the device systems

that would be quite nice, Apple never did this, my ipod video eats the battery just while playing music... 1 or 2 months till I get my zune! WOOT!

Better battery life would be great.

[batkinson001]

speaking of battery life, how does M$ get 36 hours out of the battery for the 120GB?

i have brightness set to low, and wireless turned off (i got it working, but man it was slow as hell. USB FTW!).

anything else i can change on the player to maximize battery life especially while playing videos? which was one of the primary reasons for getting a zune (it is from my understanding double that of my 30gb ipod video which is 2 hrs playback on a fully charged battery).

This proves to be interesting.

Really interesting.
