Not yet anyway…but there’s info out there that Zune may get it…

There’s coding in the Zune software that already has IM support. This would be on the computer since it would be pretty hard to text with the Zune wirelessly since the Zune has limited interface when it comes to typing.

The Zune is Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s over-rated iPod. The iPod, for a long time, has never had any real competition (when I say that, I mean anyone that has the marketing power to get their product visible. When was the last time you saw a commercial for a Zen, or Sansa?) Now Microsoft is the first to enter the portable media ring with the pockets and resources to compete at Apple’s level. The problem is everyone loves iPods so much, it’s hard for them to see ZUNE IS THE BETTER PLAYER…
