There have been rumors for a long time about Microsoft's Zune multimedia player becoming available on non-Zune products too, like Xbox or Windows Mobile smartphones. A hint for this is the fact that the software giant has started a closer relationship with hardware manufacturers in order to enhance multimedia experience. Recently, however, a software tester job ad has appeared on Microsoft's jobs site where such cell phone-based multimedia applications have to be tested that are based on services unified for different product lines. The new services unite the entertainment features of Zune, Xbox and a PC. The advertised job is an evident sign of the Zune multimedia service coming soon to other products, for example on cell phones.
