In the mean time, utilizing <a target="_blank" href="http://zuneboards.com/Offical-Tutorial-Released-Use-the-Zune-as-External-HD-AND-ADD-FILES-t-697.html">ZuneBoard's hard drive hack</a>, there is a workaround, albeit a rather cumbersome one, to send a DRM-less file using Zune's WiFi sharing. Check out the above Gizmodo article for the all the details. This workaround, basically tricking the Zune into sending a file as a photo, involves a little too much manual work for what can easily be accomplished, sans-Zune. Since both ends require a PC and the hard drive hack before the file is usable, what's the point? I guess W?BIC is the answer! :)</p>
