Free: Is Verizon Wireless readying contract-free services?

Looks like Big Red may be gearing up to offer services to all of you commitment-phobic types out there.  According to BGR, Verizon Wireless will start offering contract-free cellular services on September 21.  This will allow folks to use VZW on a month-to-month basis with their own devices or by paying full price for a new phone from Verizon. Basically this is good if you're a VZW customer who likes to try new phones as they come out and would rather pay full price for them than re-up for two more years of contracted service, OR if you've got a line on getting VZW devices via some other means (we won't ask, don't worry) and thus don't need to worry about getting a new Glyde at the "on contract price,"  This DOES NOT mean that you can call Sprint customer service, cancel your contract, and bring your Instinct over to Verizon to use on a month-to-month basis.  Although now that I think about it, it would be super cool to see a Helio Ocean running on VZW - just for the geek factor.  Verizon runs CDMA and Ocean is a CDMA device ... I wonder if it can be done.

Microsoft's Zune Players Go Wireless

In a bid to steal the spotlight from Apple's new iPod lineup, Microsoft has just launched free software to convert every Zune player in the company's current product lineup -- including a new device with 120GB of storage capacity -- into a wireless-savvy music machine. During Zune's initial design, Microsoft engineers created a platform that can be updated through the release of software upgrades, noted Brian Seitz, Microsoft's group marketing manager for Zune. "We made an early bet with the FM player and wireless capabilities of the device," Seitz explained. "Now we can build on those hardware features by delivering great software." FM Radio Game Changer Users equipped with the Zune 3.0 software update can download music directly to their players, either over a home wireless network or through Wi-Fi hotspots at more than 9,800 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S., courtesy of Internet access provider Wayport. Zune aficionados will be able to purchase the popular tunes played by their favorite FM radio stations. Microsoft's Zune 3.0 software release matches data already embedded within the signals of many FM radio stations -- called RDS and RT+ feeds -- with the four million songs available from the Zune Marketplace. Users simply click on any song they hear to instantly tag and purchase it. "This Zune technology puts two things together that have been dying to get together for years -- discovery of new music on FM radio and the purchase of music, which is getting to be more and more digital," said Jeff Littlejohn, an executive vice president at Clear Channel Radio. Littlejohn also notes that Clear Channel, which owns 450 U.S. stations enabled for RDS feeds, is working with other broadcasters to further standardize the technology. "We see this as an industry coalition," Littlejohn explained. "This needs to be ubiquitous to reach its potential, and Zune...
