I don't trust anything from Mr. Thurott. Hopefully, it is true because tons of people will be happy.

He has quotes from Audible themselves.

YES! FINALLY!

Gregory · 04-20-2008, 06:58 AM

Nice! This will be a great selling point!

BobtheWalrus · 04-20-2008, 08:22 AM

Huzzah!

stkr · 04-20-2008, 08:25 AM

Great news for those who will use it. Once again, "end of the year". Better late than never I guess.

runtohell121 · 04-20-2008, 08:26 AM

mmmm.. thats good news

jediMattX · 04-20-2008, 09:42 AM

Does this mean a firmware upgrade? I would think so.

Yes. But this isn't supposed to happen until later in the year. Maybe they'll include this with games. Who knows...

CyanRenegade · 04-20-2008, 11:58 AM

I'm really happy about this too! But I'm getting a little sick of the end-of-the-year for almost all the Zune's new stuff. I'd rather get little bits through out the year then all at once, cause I know all I'll care about is the games lol.

endlessinsanity · 04-20-2008, 12:04 PM

It's really cool. I hope that This will bring tidings of great joy to the Zune community

EndUnknown · 04-20-2008, 12:13 PM

|only 8 months to go! yippie!|

Scrapz616 · 04-20-2008, 12:13 PM

Pretty cool i guess
It would be better if they released in the summer,

endlessinsanity · 04-20-2008, 12:14 PM

I agree with Dark Whole. The community would respond much better if it was released with XNA Games.

Man. · 04-20-2008, 12:15 PM

Its a good extra but I cant see me using it to be honest.

endlessinsanity · 04-20-2008, 12:18 PM

Same here. If the team wrote the software so you could choose to display it or not, it would be a much more feasible proposition than adding yet another option to the home screen.

Darth Camel · 04-20-2008, 05:55 PM

Cool. Yay for new features!

Scrapz616 · 04-20-2008, 05:57 PM

I just realized what audible is, and no thanx
I'd rather read the story then listen to it, I'm a fast reader, so yea....
I doubt i'll use it, but it's still good for other ppl i guess

Exactly my point. It's good news for those who'll use it. Listening to someone else read a book puts me to sleep. I've got to read it for myself. I love to read anyway...
