Sharing Songs and Pictures with the Zune
Figure 1: Discovering neighbouring Zunes (and what the user is listening to). Privacy alert! ;-)
And the videos just keep flowing. Duncan Mackenzie from on10.net, and his buddy, Brian Johnson, got their hands on two pre-production Zunes and decided to put Microsoft's 3 plays / 3 days sharing to the test. Everything seems quite fluid, though don't expect it to work all that great outside of the US, where come November 14, the Zune will be almost non-existent. Duncan's video is five-and-a-half minutes long. If you don't have time to watch it, check out some of our screen grabs after the break.
Figure 2: The spinning circle of eight. Yes, the Xbox folks really did work on this one.
Figure 3: All sent.
Figure 4: Well, that's picture sending tested. Time to send a track, eh?
Figure 5: 3 plays, 3 days.
Figure 6: Received tracks get delivered to the inbox, with album art and all.
Figure 7: Yes, that is an odd bedbug.
Figure 8: You have the option of accepting or rejecting a track.
