Microsoft bringing Zune app, Windows Phone 7 sync to Mac
News of Microsoft bringing new apps to any of Apple's platforms always seems to be met with raised eyebrows, but with Redmond's determination to make Windows Phone 7 a much more compelling experience than its mobile predecessors this particular news shouldn't come as a surprise: WP7 device sync is coming to Mac.
You'll even be able to use the new-and-improved Zune desktop app to manage music, photos, and videos on your WP7 device. If you haven't tried it out, Zune 4.7 for Windows is packed with eye candy and much more fun to use than iTunes. There's no additional codec, browser, or random utility bloat packaged with the Zune download, either.
Anyone want to start a pool as to how many Mac owners buy a WP7 phone and install Zune to manage it?

I would bet not many - but WP7 does seem to be more 'design' based than iPhone and that might appeal to the Apple crowd. But I'll be getting one and I'm a linux user (they had me at XBLA) - :) , so who knows.

I use zune at work though mine is a mac household. It is definitely a nicer interface than itunes. The metro interface is awesome, I'm not sure I will be getting a version 1 WP7 device but Zune is a day 1 download.
I think apple can take a few design cues from Microsoft. I never thought I'd say that but its true.

This is just going to be a sync client for Mac, not the full blow Zune software, sorry : (

Bringing the Zune client to Mac? Microsoft announced no such thing. They said they're bringing a public beta of a syncing tool. You can't just be posting stuff without checking, guys
