Online Zune Apps New Alpha

[jeremy1080]

Hey Everyone,

I Know its been A LONG time since I have mentioned or done anything with The Online Zune Apps, But I'm finally back!

I have decided to completely re-design the site to do a few things:

1.Make it look more like an App (Similar to the facebook and twitter Tab Method)
2.Easily integrate Ajax (Able to load and send data with out refreshing page )
3.Not have anyone complain how I'm going to get in trouble for making it look the Zune.

As of right now I have a very simple alpha of just the Layout. Which can be found here.

This site is just for the alpha and will not be the permanent site.

If anyone and I mean ANYONE wants to help or give suggestions, Please Do. Tell me how you like the new layout(Looks best on Zune and not Computer)

Thanks, Jeremy

Hey everyone,

I know have updated the layout some more and have built most of the ajax framework.

What needs to be done:
*Code optimization
*Find a better way of receiving text (Ill go in to detail down below)
*Better icons(unless you like them)

As for texting. We have figured out a way to receive texts. But you have to have gmail....

What you have to do is go into settings in the OZA(not accessible yet). And you would have to input your Gmail Username, Password, And the folder that you would like to have the texts go into.

The problem with this is that:
1.It involves you typing in your username and password.
2.Its not wicked easy to setup.
3.Not everyone has Gmail.

So once again if anyone can help in anyway whether it is:
*Layout
*Ajax
*Texting

I can use the help

Thanks, Jeremy

P.S. Remember this is just an alpha and is not guaranteed to work properly.

Though I still like the old zune style, how about keep part of the icon idea had and change it to be similar to how the Albums page is in the marketplace on the device? Two per row, and each is a large square icon. Have a loading image pop up (just incase slow connection), and use ajax to load the page under that.
