What is the best way to ask developers write apps for Zune HD which is pretty new? Microsoft thinks they can just use their money. An iPhone developer said Microsoft has contacted him. Microsoft will give him lots of money if he promised to write apps for Zune HD. Microsoft probably will grab lots of developers since some of them feel disappointed about Apple’s app rejection thing.
