Here at Zuneagent.com, when we hear about rumors, we mostly rely on what the word is on the techno blogs. But the best way to speculate what is happening with certain products is to check the company’s job postings. Well according Todd Bishop of TechFlash, he found some job postings from the Zune team. One job posting was for an engineer that would be implementing Musiwave with the Zune Marketplace. For all those who don’t know, Musiwave is a European music provider for mobile phones that was acquired by Microsoft a year back. With this job posting, some feel that this is a strong indication of a Zune phone. Another job posting revealed that suggest the Zune will have some sort of integration with the Microsoft Xbox. According to the job posting, they are currently looking for a experienced designer to work on the Zune Device UI, Zune PC client, AND the Zune Xbox. Now many are not sure what a Zune Xbox is, but we do know that both Xbox Live and Zune Marketplace use the Microsoft Points system. So many are speculating that Xbox Live will be getting the Zune Marketplace, given the fact that you could already connect your MP3 player to your Xbox. For those who have Zune Pass subscriptions, this wuold be a good thing as they would have a new avenue to download more music. Again, nothing is certain. We are just basing this speculation on job postings. No official word has been given by the Zune team or Microsoft.
