So when I heard that XNA 3.1 supports the Zune HD I decided I would take a look at it. It took probably a couple hours to get a simple physics program running on the device. To put that in perspective, it took less time to get a primitive 2d physics engine running on the Zune HD than it did to write hello world on my iPhone. Maybe there’s just something wrong with me. Maybe there’s something about Objective C or the iPhone/iPod Touch platform that I just don’t get, but I think I’m done with iPhone development. May the future be dominated by C#.
The program uses the accelerometer and the touch screen and runs at 60 fps. Even if they aren’t letting us touch the Tegra yet, you can tell that it’s fast. If you have a Zune HD and XNA 3.1 and feel like trying it out, you can download it here.

Wow, this is incredible! This is by far the best app out for the Zune HD so far. Keep up the good work and please, please keep on coding for the Zune!
I hope you don’t mind but I took the liberty of posting this on the ZuneBoard forums. I can remove the post if you would like, but I just feel you deserve recognition for your excellent work. =)
God bless.

This is by far the most amazing app I have used on the Zune HD. Keep up your work with the Zune HD. People love simple games like this, keep them up!

Very nice program you got here. the physics are spot on, and the motion is very fluid…one of the best made apps i have played around with. i am really looking forward to more apps from you. and if you want, you should really post on zuneboards about future ones….lots of users there to boost your moral and even give you suggestions….even tho it seems like you have your stuff together. Great APP and a nice site….i love your new backgrounds you created.

man, this is incredible… its running so smoothly and the physics are so spot on that it feels as if my zune was hollowed out and filled with glowing balls with an earth in the center.
wow
