Microsoft might be looking to developers from Apple’s App Store to kick start development for the Zune HD. Daring Fireball’s John Gruber received an email from a iPhone developer who was contacted by Microsoft. According the developer, he was offered a “bucket of money” to port his Twitter application to the Zune HD. For some strange reason (perhaps his dislike of money), the developer turned down the offer.
If the Zune turns into a full fledged mobile platform, including phone, perhaps this particular developer might be kicking himself. The fact that Microsoft is reaching out to top developers certainly bodes well for seeing good “ready for primetime” apps on the Zune HD.
Facebook and Twitter please.
