Zune HD XNA Enabled?

April 15th, 2009 by Arjan Olsder Posted in Platforms: XNA | 1 Comment »

Zune A rather interesting buzz on the net today as many blogs claim to havedetailed information on the new ZuneHD MP3 player from Microsoft. The information suggests XNA (X360) support for gaming.

At first sight, many write about the possibility to download XBLA games on the device. In our opinion it’s much more realistic that Microsoft will utilize the current XNA framework and infrastructure for mobile game creation and distribution but… developers have to make mobile games dedicated for the machine.

Nevertheless, the device seems to have an nVidia Tegra GPU on board, so it’s graphics could be true eyecandy. Unlike the iPod, the Zune it still not available in Europe (this might change during Q4 of this year) so it’s might just be a niche market for XBLA developers.

      Developing for XNA isn’t that hard. But would Microsoft lay this on top of Windows Mobile as well?
      btw, I prefer the boothbabes on the WCG post 😉
