It woulde be cool if you made it so you can check your zune page and messages from the zune itself, using the wireless feature, maby look at your friends recent plays too.

I have never seen how the Xbox integration woks, but I think you guys have it on something with the LIVE integration. We sign in with our LIVE ID here, yet it is really a seperate ID. It would be nice to have to option to use the same indentity with them both, and to include the web messenger chat here as well.
It might also be nice then to tie in any Microsoft badges (i.e - registered partner, virtual tech, etc) here through your LIVE ID. Jeth, that would also give you something else to go from besides just the number of posts for formulating our level or rating.

This is a fantastic idea. I have some development experience and though I'm sure I won't be "recruited" as a developer, I would be happy to extend some of my knowledge.
Bravo, Zune team. Add me to the list!

This would be extremely easy to do on the Zune, and it would open the door for Wi-Fi.
Sorry I wasn't real clear with that post. What I meant was not the Zune and Xbox ID could be the same, but the Zune, Xbox and LIVE id could be the same. My messenger friends could show up here as well and when in messenger my Zune profile page could be accessible.
Well...
I don't have an idea for the community, but I do have an idea for an update on the Zune itself. I have over 500 music videos on my Zune and the only problem I have with that is that I have to individually pick them. I would really love it if someone made it to where I could shuffle my videos like we can our MP3's. To me that just sems like common sense. I mean it's just a video under 5 minutes or so, so you'd think you'd be able to have that option. Whether you have to turn it on and off or not. I really hope this can come to fruition. Thanks for your time.

Sometimes I miss them for a few days because I don't know I have one. Totally my area, totally a place I'm going to improve...but not with this project. :-) Outbox, the ability to have the message copied into the body of the reply, the ability to forward - all important stuff I've got to do. :-) And I will!

Sounds good I'll keep an eye out for it.
