Just when you think it can’t get worse for Zune… it does. Ryan Block explains the harsh reality of Zune’s so called “wireless” capabilities.
Want to know what Zune wireless can and can’t do? Ryan chimes in with a good list.
You can:
* Can search for and find other Zunes nearby.
* Can send songs / albums for the 3 x 3 trial. Songs past the three days / listens are deleted at next sync, but catalogued on your PC for record-keeping should you want to purchase them later. No word on whether Microsoft is going to keep track of which files are traded.
* You can send and receive image files for “unlimited viewing.” (Oh, so copyrighted images aren’t worth DRMing?)You can’t:
* Connect to the internet.
* Download songs directly from the Zune store via WiFi.
* Sync to your computer via WiFi.
Wasn’t this supposed to be the iPod killer?
