It's always been that way...
Well I heard somewhere that it will ship with a couple games on it to start. Who knows what will happen after that? We must remember, there's an entire month before this thing starts to ship. We've gotten ALL this news and these videos in less than a week. Anything could be announced between now and then. Like, for instance, an App store.

This is ZuneHD's new account because I didn't like the username, and I only had like five posts to lose. I meant the Ipod Apps Store when I posted earlier and I'm sorry I double posted. I didn't read the rules until I signed up the second time. I son't think this counts as a double post becouse it is a different account. 'Sigh'

Damnit. Now it looks that much more appealing. Your move, Apple.... I'm sensing my bank account is going to be out $300 in the coming months.

No one is going to listen to it for 33-hours straight. But if the device is mainly used as a music player, then you might be able to go a couple weeks or more between charges.

I think it all depends on how compex the website is and how much information needs to be sent back and fourth. Listening to music as you browse would probably bring it down considerably too. I would guess around 4-5 hours maybe.

I would say anywhere between 2-4 hours. Sites like Engadget and Digg.com use much more power then say, Craigslist or The New York Times. And many sites offer mobile versions which don't suck much power. But things like Screen Brightness and music quality+volume factor in too.

Yeah that countdown on your sig is awsome.
somebody should make a Zune game that counts down to the Zune HD.
More like an app, but still, under games.


for now


Am I supposed to be able to see my sig picture, cuz I can't.
And I need to see my beautiful shoes when they're not on my feet!
