Zunes to get WiFi Texting?

Saturday, 20 October 2007

Just recently, Engadget posted an article about the leaked Zune 2 support documents. Gregory was scanning through the documents when he noticed something very interesting. According to the documents, the Zune 2 will support sending text messages, as well as songs and albums. Take a close look here:

You be the judge. Will the newer Zunes have text messaging capabilities?

Update: Sorry folks, looks like the messaging won't be on the actual Zune device, but rather on the software.

Wrong, it will support messages through the zune program, NOT through the device.

No. These are messages, like email inboxes, used in the social. It can't go to the device.

It could if microsoft wanted it to, and if you were in a "free" wi-fi zone.

As much as I would love to believe is texting, I would say it has only to do with the software on the computer.

If you actually read the document / looked at the picture it not only says its in the zune program, but it shows a picture of it. You should understand what you are reading before you go and start posting articles.

Look at where it shows the program screenshot, it also shows the received Songs and Albums, just like the current zune software does.
Think, if this were the zune software's texting, this would be a lousey interface.

i am guessing that it will be part of the zune program and also part of the Zune Social site..
Guest User   | 68.48.255.xxx | 2007-10-21 00:53:44
it doesn't say anything about zune text messaging
mikeyjoe   | 76.193.116.xxx | 2007-10-21 01:05:05
WAIT ITS SAYS ZUNES TO GET WIFI TEXTING NOT ZUNE PROGRAM.....PLUS look at this "[u]According to the documents, the Zune 2 will support sending text messages, as well as songs and albums"..........NOW....WHO's GONNA SEND TEXT THROUGH A ZUNE PROGRAM.....WHEN WE HAVE AIM AND CRAP LIKE THAT........
Guest User   | 71.195.37.xxx | 2007-10-21 01:43:47
You need to actually use your brain when you read... Unleash the Beast!

It doesn't say anything about messaging on the device itself. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

what an amazing find!

Why doesn't anyone read the update? I didn't even have to read the update to know it wouldn't be on the actual device and only on the software, look at how wide the freakin picture is!

First off, with the proper software mods you could send text messaging. You would have to do a hell of a lot of work but it can be done. The only problem i got with mine is the texting part. I have my zune suited up to support TXT files and send them but you need a touch screen to pick out the letter/character. The only other way to pick them is to scroll through them one at a time.

One thing i forgot to add, even if you were to go through all of the work to mod out your zune, you would have to ahve everyone that you would text to do the same. Otherwise the zune that the text is ent to will not support the file.
I have a question though. Is there anywhere i can find a clock software for the zune? I would do it myself but i'd rather just download it.

yeah but some people dont have cell phones and seriously if we could text on zunes cells phones would have no use really and that would be freacking sweeeet one device not thirty!!!
