Default APRIL FOOL'S DAY: Zune iOS App Spotted

One of my favorite pastime is combing through Flickr and Photobucket looking for interesting pictures.  Every once in a while you come across a gem.  These two for instance were pretty interesting finds...  (Hint, lower left corner).

We all knew this was inevitable.  iTunes runs on Windows so why shouldn't Zune run on iOS?  Besides, it's not like there aren't other iOS app developed by Microsoft.  In fact, this is the seventh iOS app by Microsoft.  The others are: Bing, OneNote, Live Messenger, Tag Reader, WonderWall and Sea Dragon.

One more picture after the break.

Default I need this!

I'm a long time Zune Pass user. Just a couple of weeks ago, I was switched to an iPhone for work. I keep thinking.... "There's gotta be a way to stream Zune Pass music to this device!"

Where did these photos come from?

When I first glanced at this headline, my brain registered "Zune Spotted" and I thought to myself, "Wow! Oh wait, isn't it April Fool's Day?" because I've never actually seen a Zune anywhere. Then I re-read the headline.

A Zune iOS app would make sense, as there are many other music services on the App Store already. Except MS would just hate the new subscription rule (30% cut).

Nice April Fool's joke, Best past years joke, Nokia on Windows, actually lasted for a 3 or 4 years. I wander how long will this last?

I actually have an original Brown Zune 30. It's still used every once in a while on longer road trips. Wifi is always off now. In the time I've had it, never found anyone to squirt to.
