Zune HD Web Browser - Comments And Questions
The official legal and marketing approved copy for the Zune HD Web Browser tells us "Surf the web anytime, anywhere you have a Wi-Fi connection. Enjoy your favorite websites with a full-featured web browser including tap to zoom technology, built-in accelerometer, and touchscreen QWERTY keyboard."
Yes, we could make the "sounds like the iPod Touch" statement here but, … we at Zune HD have some questions about the browser that we can't find answers to (and are curious others aren't talking about).
- Will it support Flash or Silverlight? Could we dare dream of Hulu or Netflix on this thing?
- Will we see this browser on other Windows Mobile systems (phones, etc.), or is this a Zune HD exclusive? We've seen the annoyance of Microsoft supporting Urge, Zune and Windows Media Player as desktop media players. Will there be an internal browser war at Microsoft?
- Will we be able to view Web content through the HD Video Out? The Web on our television (at HD none the less) is something we're passionate about over here. Coudl this be our ticket?
If you have thoughts about (or answers to) any of these issues, please post them below!
