Mobile Zune store
Microsoft is planning to launch a mobile Zune portal sometime in 2009, according to the French newspaper Les Echos. The site would extend the reach of the company's iTunes rival, the Zune Marketplace, and allow users to download games and music directly to various platforms, including computers, Windows Mobile devices and for the first time, Zune players themselves.
This was written last year, around this time. What do we have today? Zune changed the game by making a web-based podcast directory, and the firmware update has made it possible to use the marketplace on your zune. Still awaiting a merge with mobile devices and the other "computers" as mentioned, but I am sure it is happening. And happening very soon.
