Zune HD finally gets Twitter app

One of the features that makes the infamous iPod Touch such a dominant player (pun intended) in the market is its application store. Microsoft has proved rather successful with its version of an app store by integrating the Zune HD player with the likes of the XBox gaming system.

The marketplace now has an exciting new app courtesy of Twitter.  All the twitter goodness that you’ve experienced on your Touch is now available on the Zune HD.

While you get all the same great features as seen on other platforms, you might be rather perplexed to discover that your tweets will not be including profanity. Yup, that’s right. The app censors bad words.

We’re not too sure which big cheese come up with the big idea. Free speech? I suppose they’ve not heard of capitalism either (whoops). Nice move Microsoft.

      MS realized their mistake and you can now cuss all you want on the app. Love my 32gb ZuneHD. OLED screen, apple? I guess not.
