Zune Clock 1.5
A new evening away from GTA and a new version of the application. This time, I've added some media player capabilities to the player. I know, it may sound a little bit odd... or at least it did to me when somebody suggested me this on the forums. But it proved to be very easy to implement using the XNA. So finally, you can watch a clock while listening to some music on the Zune!
This time I won't post a photo because my camera is not currently charged.
You can download the latest version (and the older versions as well) from here:
