Rumor: Microsoft Zune to soon have Audible support
Some potential good news for any Zune user and Audible fan, a recent posting from Paul Thurrott has ‘confirmed’ the upcoming support for Audible playback on the Zune. Thanks to an email that he received, we are now learning that the deal has been completed and although a specific date has not been announced it will happen before the years end.
“I understand that you have contacted us today in regards to whether or not the Microsoft Zune is compatible with our service. We have great news! After much anticipation, Audible and Microsoft have completed negotiations on making the Zune AudibleReady!“
Paul has also claimed to have gotten this news confirmed by other sources as well, hopefully we will see an official announcement soon. Until then, while this may sound logical and believable its still unconfirmed.
