Exclamation ZunerTuner Episode #27 - 03-02-2008, 01:54 PM

Welcome to:

Episode: 27


*~*~*~*~*
..::NEWS::..
*~*~*~*~*


Great news to all Zune users out there! A new concept is brewing, one that involves an iPhone smasher. Microsoft Zune released information regarding their newest upcoming invention: the ZunePhone. Although not much information about this has been released yet, various websites contain interesting rumors and 'specs' of the ZunePhone. Although it may take a while, Zuners worldwide will patiently await the coming of the new phone.

Aside from the mystery of the ZunePhone, DarkZune's brand new skin is a reality. Created none other than by Aden and Fez, DarkZune is now more than just a forum. Thanks is also given out to the testers, who dedicated their time to finding bugs, and errors. Enjoy the new skin!

"While the third season of the TV show Heroes is still under wraps, fans of the series can watch and download five exclusive music video podcasts for free in Zune Marketplace. The first episode, now available for download, features Nada Surf's Weightless. Four additional music video podcasts will roll out each week, leading up to the Heroes Original Soundtrack album release on March 18." Taken from Zune.net, where you can download the first podcast of the series. Check it out, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

Coming March 18th:


I'd like to thank everyone who took part in the Valentines Contest. Although it was a pretty one sided contest, we sill got some great entries. The full list of entries can be found [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Below are the contest winners.

First Place: wetworker


Second Place: MetalHead324 and Mr. Munke


The rest of the contestants were tied for third. Congratulations to all of our contest winners!

Purchasing a Zune, but don't know which one to get? Don't know the colors? The sizes? Storage? Widths? Well, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] has an impressive comparison chart, which compares all Zune traits. The Comparison chart can be found [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Also, don't forget to check [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for constant news updates and polls!

Some people with Zune 30GB might be having trouble updating their Zune with the latest firmware updates. Here is a brief (uber simple) tutorial provided by Microsoft on how to update your Zune.

Quote:
1. Make sure that you have the current version of the Zune software installed on your computer. To do this, follow these steps: • If you are a new Zune customer, visit the following Web site and install the Zune software for your computer:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
• If you already have an earlier version of the Zune software installed on your computer, update the software. To do this, click Settings, click software, click GENERAL, and then click CHECK FOR UPDATES

2. Connect the Zune device to your computer by using the Zune sync cable. Use a USB port on the back of the computer. Do not use a USB hub.
Note If the battery in the Zune device is critically low, we recommend that you charge your Zune device before you continue.

3. Open the Zune software while the Zune device is still connected to your computer. The Zune software searches the Internet for the latest version of the firmware. If a newer version of the Zune firmware is available than the version that you have installed, a notice to update your device appears. You can also manually check for new device updates by clicking Settings, by clicking device, and then by clicking Device Update.

Important Do not move or disconnect the Zune device until the update is complete. The update may take several minutes. During this time, the Zune device may restart several times. Please be patient.

This episodes featured product is the Incipio Leather Flip Case for Zunes 4GB and 8GB. Pictured below, the case is made of high-quality, premium top-grain leather. It has a screen, protecting your Zune from smudges, and has easy access to all of the buttons. On Amazon, this high quality case is offered for $15.99 US. If white is not your color, the flip cases from Incipio come in different colors, and even shapes. All in all, it's a pretty good buy, seeing as you're protected by a year-time warranty.

The Zune is equipped with various cool features, some common, some not. Whether it's the wireless syncing, the song sharing, or anything else, you can decide. The poll featured at the top of the thread gives you the option to vote for your favourite, most impressive Zune feature (80GB). The choices are as follows: Wireless Syncing, Song Sharing, Massive Storage, Audio and Video Podcast Support, or Video Output. Vote now!




Last weeks poll, a decision between the Zune colors received only 6 votes. The final winner, and most favourite Zune color is: BLACK! A neutral color, which give the Zune an air of slimmness and purity. Black Zunes are offered in all types (4, 8, 30, and 80GB).
