It's all about Microsoft Pink... somewhat. Microsoft's Pink phone may make its debut this summer on Verizon, and there are already leaked photos of them as well. Microsoft's Courier details are allegedly out, and how Apple suing HTC can damage Microsoft. Then, Microsoft makes an effort to converge all of its devices. All that plus your emails!

First off I'd like to say thanks for the hours of entertainment last week as you counted down for your 100th episode. I'm not sure if they were released last week but I listened to about 10 of them while working in my internship last Wednesday and Friday. I don't work on the most exciting stuff so I'm extremely greatful that I had all your most recent podcasts on my HD.
Anna, I received the Zune cloth last week and it's awesome. I was a little bummed because I thought I wouldn't get it after all so it was a great surprise to see it in my mailbox. Thank you so much for it!
On to give you a bit of feedback. I really liked when you guys had the guest host. I think it was podcast 98 or 99. Also, I think the way you mixed it up with podcasts containing mail bags, interviews, news, and a few other things individually was really cool. I feel like the content is not thrown at you all in one time but instead seperately in concentrated doses. Does that make sense?
I must head back to work right now so I'll talk to you guys later. Keep up the good work. Oh and I know its late but...Happy 100th Episode!!! :-)

I think its very important that Zune takes the next are p in spot of things however I will touch point on a few subjects. Zune 5.0 should first and for most either collaborate with the Windows Phone App Library, meaning the apps Winpho has Zune has, however there are certain exceptions, some apps maybe biased for only Winpho, so like if you tried to sync It with your Zune HD it would then prompt u that its only compatible with the phone. On the other hand of apps; this software should be the next step to a boundiful future for the Zune user experience, it would open up a monitered SDK, say there's a little button on the app menu under the marketplace that says submit an app, now this would be a monitered SDK so there is no pornography or anything that would hurt Zune or corrupt privacy, or anything to pointless at that BUT it should be up to the Zune users to tell whether its just a black screen, like the moniters may think a virtual Zippo lighter is
pointless however I may find it very entertaining.
On video there should be the same concept, it would be like Microsoft's-YouTube. So you can submit your own content, this could be entitled The Social Video or something.
Zune should also incorporate Silverlight into software and Zune HD. So you could view the "Social Video" on your Zune.
Thank you for asking me to submit my opinion Matt and Zunespring, Hopefully you listen.
Cole
Travis' response:
Thanks for your great ideas, for the next iteration of Zune. Both I and Matt
feel that giving the community exactly what they want is the way to capture
a larger audience for the software, devices, and services.
Be well, Travis
