@MrJef Further looking, WiFi needs to be on *IF* you are roaming. If you are on normal 3G network, Wifi is not needed.
@va jj People reporting in who have the update said they just had 3G on.
@Darwin Troll much? oh wait...you do
Since the "benefit" of Apple's solution is that all traffic goes through the centralized Push mechanism, shouldn't Apple be able to detect the presence of multiple "Unique" keys on their push network?

Much the same way they can detect cloned ESNs when used on the same cell network?
Yeah...because ya know...RIM is super secret and won't let just anyone monitor the Blackberry network...

Oh Wait...

Weird comments seem borked...
Yes, XNA is built upon .NET, which was built by Microsoft, but is also part of the Mono project to bring .NET to Linux.

This does mean it will have the largest developer footprint for potential games. Microsoft's Live Anywhere strategy is really starting to take shape, as you can develop for all major platforms today with the .NET framework.

I'm posting what I find on the net about games for Zune at:

Hey there, I had created a list of all the known Music tracks used in the Zune Commercial Ads. You can see the list here:

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
