Well, sort of...</p><p>ZuneBoards'&nbsp;nate8nate sniffed out a hidden setting in the Mac version of <a href="http://www.windowsphonethoughts.com/news/show/100829/" target="_blank">Windows Phone Connector</a> that allows the ZuneHD to sync just like a Windows Phone device. Surprisingly, the hack is pretty simple (setting the boolean value <em>ZuneEnabled</em> to true), which also likely means there's a reason this was turned off. At the moment it's ZuneHD-only and wireless syncing isn't quite there, but very cool nonetheless. nate8nate says that the latest version has much more Zune-related stuff than the first release, suggesting that Microsoft is inching towards full Zune/Mac compatibility. The real question is whether this changes the game or is just a nice-to-have in the larger Zune strategy.&nbsp;</p>
