Rumor: True Wireless for the Zune

by Tim Stevens on May 11, 2007 at 02:51 PM



When Microsoft released the Zune, the company made damn sure in its ads and marketing materials to play up the media player's wireless capabilities. Problem is, the Wi-Fi features are limited, only allowing you to share songs with the other dude who bought a Zune.

But according to rumors, a forthcoming update will enable Zune users to buy tunes wirelessly. This is likely a reaction on Microsoft's part to positive reviews garnered by the recently released Sansa Connect, a portable player that's able to stream music, buy tunes and even browse Flickr wirelessly. And with rumors of a Wi-Fi iPod floating around the ether, this update can't come soon enough.

The rumor also speculates about the release of a so-called Zune 2.0, as well as a flash-based "Nano" Zune, within the next month.
