Microsoft today unveiled Windows Phone 8 at its Windows Summit, due out in the fall. But one tidbit not states (not that I heard, at least) is that current Windows Phone devices out now will not receive the Windows Phone 8 update, multiple publications have reported. It appears plenty of...

Windows Phone 8 will include NFC support, Microsoft announced today at the Windows Phone Summit, which will allow for endusers to pay for merchandise from their phone. But NFC on Windows Phone will also allow users to play peer to peer games between phones and Windows 8. Joe Belfiore today...

Microsoft just announced at its Windows Phone Summit that Windows Phone 8 will include a new start screen, due out this fall. The new start screen will allow for endusers to add most aspects of the OS onto their start screen and better customize the size of live tiles. It appears there are...

Microsoft just announced at its Windows Phone Summit that Windows Phone 8, the next big leap in the operating system, will be out this fall. The current version of the operating system out is Windows Phone 7.5. Windows Phone 8 will support multi-core processors, beginning at dual-core on...

News of a super-secret Microsoft announcement has been circling the web after invitations were sent out early Thursday. People have been speculating what exactly it could be, most thinking it has something to do with Windows 8 tablets. And for the most part they were in the ballpark —...

In the summer of 2006, I remember seeing something online about Microsoft’s new product — the Zune. It was in a time when I had never owned a portable media player before, when it seemed everyone and… ahem… his or her (mechanics!) mother had one (and I’m not just saying that because...

Dear Zuniteders, It is with great displeasure that I tell you I will be leaving Zunited and therefore stepping down as Editor In Chief. You probably don’t know me, but I’ve been with Zunited since 2008, where I annoyed everyone and begged to be a moderator. Then I became co-admin...

Steve Jobs, co-founder and (up until a month ago) CEO of Apple and chief executive of Pixar, died late Wednesday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Apple officially released a statement confirming his death around 7:45pm EDT. Bill Gates, current chairman of Microsoft, released this...

This is Zune. Never say die. After Zunited broke the news that Microsoft had added a support page stating explicitly “We recently announced… we will no longer be producing Zune players,” the company has pulled that webpage off the Zune website. It’s the same thing...

The official end of the Zune player is here, well more like two years ago when the company first introduced the Zune HD. We already posted this on our update of the article for the revamped Zune website, but this definitely deserves its own post. In a support page on the Zune website,...

Microsoft updated the official Zune website today to reflect the new Zune Music Pass, which was announced late last week. The Zune Music Pass will now be $10 a month and include music videos but has dropped the 10 MP3s to keep. The Pass will also find its way to Canada. But with the update to...

Get ready for more “Zune is dead” headlines (never mind that Microsoft recently made changes to the Zune Pass — ahem, Zune Music Pass). More sensibly, the blogosphere might cry out that the Zune HD itself is dead. Microsoft sent out a mass email to all of the users in its Zune...

Microsoft today announced that its Zune Pass will be expanding to Canada, along with a couple of changes to the service. Effective on October 3rd, 2011, the Zune Pass will be $10 a month and will drop the 10 MP3s to keep model it’s been harboring for quite some time now. Old subscribers...

Windows Phone 7.5, also known as Mango, was released today… but there’s just one catch: the update won’t be available to all phones right away. In fact, only 10% of phones will receive the update by the end of the week; Microsoft hopes to cover 98% in a month’s time. But if...

Fresh off the news that Windows Phone 7.5 Mango was unleashed, Microsoft updated the official website — including an all-new web-version of its Windows Phone Marketplace. The web Marketplace has been expected for quite some time now. In fact, details from the Japanese language Windows Phone...

After months since Windows Phone 7.5 Mango was announced, earlier this spring, the mobile operating system update is finally finding its way onto phones all around the world today. Late last week, reports stated September 27th would be “Mango day,” earlier today support pages for...

Today is reportedly Mango day. AT&T is supposed to get the Windows Phone 7.5 update first before any other carrier but Sprint may be getting it themselves. Sprint updated its support page for the HTC Arrive today, September 27, to include a new version of the operating system that...

Xbox is streaming the iHeartRadio Music Festival live in HD right now (and tomorrow night, or watch it online on their website) as it happens live in Vegas, Nevada, but during the performance there was an announcement of the music application’s availability on Xbox. As reported by Elvis...

You like music. You have an Xbox. You don’t have a ticket to iHeartRadio’s Music Festival, self-touted as the largest music event in radio history. Well, you’re in luck because Xbox LIVE will be streaming the event live in HD tonight (Sept 23) and tomorrow (Sept 24) for all...

A report claims that Windows Phone 7.5, also known as Mango, will make its debut on September 27th and AT&T is the first carrier to receive the update. According to emails received by WPCentral, AT&T will unleash the Mango update for the HTC Surround, the LG Quantum, and the Samsung...

It’s September 15th, 2011, and while it may be the second anniversary of the Zune HD’s release, it’s definitely not the day Windows Phone 7.5 Mango makes its debut as the rumor mill had been predicting quite fiercely for about a month now. Yesterday, a T-Mobile support page...

T-Mobile’s support page for its Windows Phone HTC HD7 is currently displaying that an update for the mobile phone is available. At this point, the only update that would be available is Windows Phone 7.5, codename Mango, which has been rumored for a September 15th release (tomorrow)....

Labor Day has past, and according to radio show hosts everywhere, that means fall is now upon us — which is conveniently the timeline we were supposed to see the Windows Phone 7.5 devices debut. (All rumors point to a September 15 date for when Mango will be released on its own.) AT&T...

News broke late Tuesday that Microsoft’s Zune HD Senior Business Development Manager, Dave McLauchlan, would be leaving the company — which he did, this past Friday, to begin on a new startup called Buddy. McLauchlan, most commonly known online as DaveMac or DaveMacMS, was an integral...

Dave McLauchlan, known on the Internet as DaveMacMS, has relieved himself of his duties at Microsoft. McLauchlan is the Senior Business Development Manager for Microsoft’s Zune HD — or he will be until Friday, September 9th, McLauchlan’s last day with the company. He tweeted out...
