Microsoft Zune HD hacked, OpenZDK released

The culmination of a new Zune HD 64GB and firmware v4.5 has meant that the Zune HD has received a lot of attention recently, but we can announce a new SDK for developers – an SDK of different sorts.

That’s right, ZuneBoards is reporting that Microsoft’s flagship media player has been hacked by a group of indie developers.  Available for all versions of the Zune, the hack, titled OpenZDK, gives developers “access to everything XNA withheld before”.  Essentially, this will mean that sky is the limit (games and apps galore).

Until those developers crack on and develop something to show for, consumers will be kept in limbo. The question beckons: how long until we see Microsoft patch the flaw with a new firmware update? Takers?
