Hackers have found their way into the Zune HD, Microsoft’s competitor to Apple’s iPod Touch. With the hack, developers lifted all XNA restrictions and they released an SDK.
The Zune HD was hacked through the Device Center software on the device. Through this software, hackers are able to execute a custom XNA runtime. These custom runtimes allow direct access to the 3D acceleration hardware as well as wifi, something that was not yet allowed in current firmwares.
For all those developers that wish to play with the Zune environment, the OpenZDK is available for download.
