re: PETITION!!!!! APP STORE/ GAMES FOR ZUNE HD

ANYONE WHO WANTS APPS AND GAMES FOR ZUNE HD, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS POST, MICROSOFT WILL SEE IT, PLEASE, TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Yes, I absolutely do. I also think they should make Xbox live arcode games you buy playable on the Zune HD since most of them are simpler, retro games anyways.

Apps would be much appreciated for the Zune.

Yezzir... that and a 64 GB plzzzz....

I agree 100%.  My wife has the iTouch but I am true to my Zune.  I do have fun with the Apps and would like to see them available for Zune.  that could make the difference for me with regards to the Zune HD.

Please have a shared WinMobile / ZuneHD marketplace....the apps would make the Zune a killer product to really compete against the other media players out there.  It already has a superior interface, but putting apps that people can download and purchase would mean it could open up to more amazing things like having a Facebook app, dictionaries, e-book readers, and more.

Apps on the Zune HD would bring over many people trying to decide if they want to buy a Zune HD or an ipod touch

its all ready been confirmed so expect to see that...

yes, the zune needs this so bad. really tired of playing hexic everyday.

Zune HD vs Itouch

it's really laughable that I would even compare the two.  The Zune is by far the superior in hardware, but the Itouch can't be touched.  It's got an APP STORE.  An open app store mind you.  This whole 'free games' won't last forever, and I know the better games will be charged for, why close the app store and deny your product the ability to grow?  (I know the Zune App Store couldn't ever catch up to the Apple App store, but that doesn't mean you should deny developers the ability to make some awesome apps, especially given the amazing hardware....i mean...come on!)

Even if everyone started making apps right now for the Zune (open), it would take forever to compete with iTouch.  MS knows this, but releasing a product with such a tiny app store, when apps have become the norm, is weak.

Apple computers are known for their lockdown in code making it difficult for developers.  Windows is known for being open, which is why everyone makes everything for windows.  What made you think it would be a good idea to stop now?  I actually held off buying an iTouch because I know apple rejects items from their store all the time and I had this slight hope that MS wouldn't do that.  But i bought a Zune HD anyways (in the hope MS will come to it's senses...it's never too late!)

Honestly, I'm more or less just disappointing in the fact that the app store isn't open to all developers, the potential of the hardware is wasted when people can't find new and exciting ways of using it.  Games are cool, but you'll only be offering things the Xbox already does...open it up and see what else comes out!


PLEASE!!!!!  A music device can't compete with a mini-personal computer.

PS my sis has a iTouch...and it's pretty slick, and she almost never uses it for music.

Well, all this people are right. Having apps in the Zune Hd will make the zune be a  true competitor in the music market. I have zune 120...Not only does the zune hd need apps but the other zune mp3s players also do too...Its boring to play always the same games over and over again...
