Media player

I think this is the right place if not I apologise. I am using the T Mobile SDA (1).
When synching it with Vista - vista winges that the Media player 9 (on the win mobile 2003 SE) is too old and it won't play nice.
Is there a way of upgrading the media player ?
Thanks,

Oh by the way the 32 bit modem driver for Vista rocks!

Is it HTC Sonata or Amadeus? This isn't the right forum but here's an idea..There is no way to upgrade the Media Player itself, its hard coded to the rom. Upgrade to a ROM that has WMP10 included, that's the only thing that you could do to get a WMP10.

Windows Mobile Zune (aka - the "Pink and Purple Project")

I just saw this and got excited: http://content.zdnet.com/2346-12558_22-180846-5.html
It just seems like there's no easy way to sync up my audio and video with Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center as easily as I suppose a Zune could do it. I've always wanted to try "WebGuide," but my few attempts have been met with failure...
All I know is Windows Mobile COULD use an injection of PMP-friendliness!

[question] Zune HD Facebook Application

I read about the relase of Facebook application for the Zune HD, i wonder if in the future will be possible the porting on our HD2.
Tnx

Why? There is a perfectly good application for windows mobile? Get it on marketplace.

What's the deal with Podcasts????

Here is my new issue with WP7....Google has listen, I believe iOS has another podcast streamer/updater. WHY IN THE WORLD CAN'T WE UPDATE OR STREAM PODCASTS IN ZUNE!!!!?!?!? The Zune suite is the main reason I went with WP7, this seems like such an easy feature to bundle in the OS.
thoughts?

They showed off podcast support in the music app at MIX, but you'll have to wait for mango before you get it. I was debating returning to android but after seeing the future of WP7 at MIX, I'm sticking with WP7.

I subscribe to several (video) podcasts (i.e. College Humor) in the Zune software on my desktop and then wirelessly update them each night. It would be nice if I could manage them from the phone directly, but it works well enough syncing to my home computer.
Zune software / Marketplace / Podcasts....
I have an Arrive, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter.

Just wait until Mango... Along with better podcast support, Mango will be bringing a lot of features to Windows Phone 7.

XboX Music on 7.8?

Here is a question that's been on my mind. With WP8 dropping Zune and moving to XboX Music will us 7.8 users be stuck with Zune? Will we get XboX Music or some lame MP3 player? I know people say that all XboX Music is a re-branding of Zune but that is not so because XboX Music and the App Store will be seprate from eachother wheres Zune is intergated.I would like to hear comments, ideas and concepts weather possotive or negative.:good:

Since 7.8 is kind of a major upgrade, that is UI changes and hopefully includes a bit of WP8 features, I'd say there's a fat chance on this one since Microsoft wants a streamlined service across their devices.

I would be quite shocked if Xbox Music and Zune Pass weren't the same on the back end. Zune (marketplace and pass) have existed since well before the WP7 Marketplace, or even before the Zune HD app "store". It is "integrated" into Marketplace on the phone only in the sense that the same UI is used to access both of them, but that doesn't really mean much - for example, near-identical UIs are used for Facebook messaging and SMS. As for authentication, all three of Zune services, Xbox services, and WP7 Marketplace are all tied to the same identifier: your Gamertag (Zune used to call it a Zune Tag, but it was just another name for the same thing). There's no reason to expect rebranding from Zune to Xbox is going to change anything; they'e already the same on the back end!
