According to TV Compass, this remote control has Wi-Fi connectivity to the Internet for downloading an electronic program guide for TV listings, games, videos, messaging and web content. Content can be viewed on its high resolution color 2.2” LCD screen. The device can receive new equipment device codes over the air. Why not Zune codes?

Would it be so difficult to modify the Zune and this remote to communicate through Wi-fi? You could easily control your Zune with the 2.2” LCD screen without moving out of your couch. Zune Marketplace downloading as well? Why not!
