Windows Live Messenger for Zune released

[Mr. Gibs]

Just released on the Zune App Marketplace: Windows Live Messenger for Zune:

Today a new app for Messenger, one of the most requested apps for the device, was released on the Zune marketplace. The app supports your regular Messenger friends list & chat, as well as a social feed (similar to the desktop client) and Facebook chat.

At the time of writing only a few lucky Zune users can download the app, but it will be made available to all Zune users over the next couple of hours.

You can download it, for free, via the Zune Software on your Zune.

:rolleyes:. Guess Zune isnt that much of a huge importance to Microsoft, at least to its Zune devs.

OMG. Thank you jeebus.

[Guest xiphi]

Just got this. Was surprised it has Facebook support. Looks nice!

Screenshots

Not sure why the top part of the header is cut off, maybe its scrolled down or something.

Also, I wonder if this is what the WP7 will look like. If it is, then I hope they add chat bubbles instead of just text.

It won't let me sign-in...

Has anyone actually got this to work?

They released Windows Live 2011 less then 24 hours ago.. seems to be pretty fast to me

Freaking finally. I've been waiting for some sort of chat app for the Zune. Having WLM (which has Facebook built-in) is great. Good to hear WP7 will have this, too.

I wish the keyboard would go horizontally. The keys are too small for vertical. :(

Works for me.

Give me Flash and Silverlight for the Zune please Microsoft.

Works for me.

Well ****... I don't know why it won't work. Other online apps work (marketplace, facebook, etc.)

[Guest xiphi]

Skip Flash and Silverlight. Gimme a YouTube app.

Please, tell me that this is a joke. I just got an iPod touch on Amazon because the lack of messenger on the Zune (and YouTube, but this was the #1) so I now have to live with the biggest POS ever created: iTunes.

OMFG, I even put a Zune on my cart and then deleted it!!

What's stopping you from sending it back? lol

Oh. haha Missed that little detail.

[Gabotril]

Well, I got it for the half of the price that is costs here at least, because it was shipped to a friend's house who comes to Chile to work on rebuilding my city after the earthquake, so he bring it to me for free :woot:

I guess I'm be getting a Zune HD soon anyway, it seems there is life after WP7 after all.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

Sweet, i'll download it.

Seems the only people developing for the Zune HD, is Microsoft.
