Will I get one of these Zune?

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

They’ve gone Zunecrazy on blogs.

Just tell me the format I need to encode my videos in so that folks who have a new Zune can load my lame stuff up.

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

  4. I wouldn’t call it Zunecrazy. The top article on the techmeme link (ilounge) isn’t really all that enthusiastic.

  7. I only hope that the built in WIFI on the Zune will be usable for directly downloading podcasts and vodcasts removing the need for a computer. The absence of podcatching support in Windows Media Player 11 doesn’t bode well for that one but it will be the buy / not buy decision maker for me as far as Zune is concerned

  10. I thought I read that the first Zune won’t have video. As for wireless, who cares? ZD’s blog “The Apple Core” has a good post on why he doesn’t want a wireless iPod (or Zune, I suppose).

    Downloading over the air isn’t much of a selling point for me, but maybe that’s because I want a backup on my computer and due to how I consume my music, podcasts, etc. What’s wireless going to do to your battery life?

  13. Wireless is going to seriously drain your battery life. If I had to guess, any WiFi enabled portable media player is going to have to have brief and intermittent wireless connectivity, like when you’re syncing or when you specifically invoke it when in close proximity to a wireless access point or another WiFi-enabled device.
    Has anyone thought of Bluetooth? Better battery life, but of course it has a much narrower bandwidth.

  16. While I am not all that sold on the wireless angle my 15 year old son who keeps hounding about how I have to get him a Zune when it comes out seems to think wireless is the best thing since sliced bread. His reasoning, and I don’t even know if it will work like this, is that he thinks he and his friends with Zunes will be able to go over each others houses and when hanging out will be able to stream (not download) music available over the wireless network (in our houses case over 750 CD’s worth stored as WMA on our Media Center). He thinks that will be cool and it’s why he wants one badly.

  25. Is a new PlayforMaybe Windows Media File, incompatible with anything done before by Microsoft. It’s the only format the Zune will play by the way. I got this info with the same source that Robert gets his Apple rumors… 😛
