I saw a tweet earlier from @jamesoneill mentioning that BBC Radio 4’s podcasts were able to be directly downloaded to the Zune software in the UK. This is indeed true and its not just Radio 4, its all BBC radio stations and all services that provide podcasts; all of which can be found through www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts. [...]

I was asked in the week to show how much room apps take up on Windows Phone 7, I’m not sure how to go about that but I did the next best thing; showing how to get more room on your Windows Phone 7. This has nothing to do with the SD storage issue for [...]

As you know Zune went international last week allowing users to download the Zune PC Software, buy a Zune Pass and access a fully populated Zune.net.

Sadly I didn’t get any [...]

Many year ago I heard about a rival music distribution system to iTunes and I didn’t need much convincing that this could be a better way to buy and listen to music on my PC. I did research into Zune and immediately loved the look of the brand and its logo (not so much the [...]

About this time of year last year Microsoft announced the Zune HD and new Zune software for the PC and I would expect the company to announce improvements to their Zune service sometime soon. In this article I am going to share with you some of the ideas I have as to what we might [...]

Paul Thurrott has just published a review of the next update to the Zune PC Software. The main changes and new features are understandably focused around Windows Phone 7 with the devices only able to sync to a PC via the Zune software; without this software or later versions it is not possible to sync [...]

I have heard at least one report from @databasejase that Zune software users in the UK can sign in to their Zune accounts in the software and access things like the marketplace and have access to buying a Zune Pass Subscription.
