A poster named Mel at an MSDN Windows Mobile blog has asked for thoughts on making Windows Mobile and Zune work better together. I think it’s pretty much a no-brainer that this type of integration should have been thought through from the beginning.
What are some ways the Zune player and a Windows Mobile device can work better together? I’m not referring to an imaginary “Zune phone”, and I’m certainly not hinting or speculating about a converged device.
Instead, I’m wondering if there are any opportunities for us to improve the experience for people who use both devices (a Zune and a Windows Mobile phone). For example, viewing your Zune Social network in IEMobile, converting a Zune playlist into .WMA ringtones, converting Zune’s artwork to Windows Mobile themes, showing your Windows Mobile contacts as pictures in Zune etc.
If you can think of similar interesting or compelling scenarios, we’d love to hear them.
Take a look at the original blog post, read what others have suggested, and feel free to add your own suggestions.
