Install Windows Phone Apps on Zune HD?

[SurferDale]

Yep, there are still some people with Zunes out there! I own one and am curious if there is a way to install Windows Phone 7 Apps on my Zune HD? Apps, games and whatever else. This would be really convenient but I'm guessing it can't be done. Worth asking though.

No, sorry. I have both; Windows Phone Apps can't be installed on a Zune HD, and Zune HD Apps can't be installed on a Windows Phone.

From a developer's perspective: Zune HD only uses XNA 3.1, whereas Windows Phone mandates XNA 4.0. Zune also has some arbitrary limitations which make ports from WP to Zune inconvenient or impossible. For instance, Zune developers (if there still is such a thing) can't use pixel/vertex shaders for direct graphics drawing or 3D drawing, and must rely on XNA's premade Spritebatch class for draws. They also have limits on networking and general device feature usage.

I wish, if I could I wouldn't want a Windows Phone so bad!
