I understand the reason Microsoft needed to sign a deal with someone to supply free WiFi, Starbucks-style, is that the Zune can’t access browser-blocked nodes. (Which…I think? the iPhone/iPod Touch can access…not sure.)

I hope I die before that happens.

OK, that was mean of me. Very very mean. I’m going to burn in hell.

But the technical reasons makes sense. They are partnering with companies that use Waveport for wifi – the first being McDonalds – so you can use their wifi free to download music or update your collection, since Waveport doesn’t require a web browser and Zune doesn’t have one.

Zune still has one up on my iPod Nano, though: The Nano and Classic doesn’t even have wifi (which makes no damn sense at all to me).
