Sayangnya, aplikasi bernama 60+ ini baru tersedia untuk iPhone. Adapun tujuan WWF menciptakan aplikasi ini adalah menuntun penggunanya melakukan hal-hal kecil namun berdampak besar bagi lingkungan.
"Aplikasi ini lebih jauh mengajak setiap orang melakukan sesuatu yang bisa menyelamatkan bumi setiap hari, tak hanya mematikan lampu selama satu jam pada saat Earth Hour," kata juru bicara Leo Burnett Group yang membantu WWF mengembangkan 60+.
Dikutip dari Mashable, cara kerja 60+ mirip seperti layanan berbasis geolokasi yang di dalamnya terdapat daftar hal yang harus dilakukan pengguna (to-do dan check-in).
Disini, pengguna akan terdeteksi melakukan tindakan positif berdasarkan daftar kegiatan yang diperintahkan dalam aplikasi. Misalnya menggunakan pencahayaan alami, mengubah pengaturan pendingin ruangan, atau memasang shower yang hemat air.
Nah, apabila pengguna sudah melakukan banyak tindakan positif, mereka akan mendapatkan penghargaan, yang nantinya bisa di-share ke jejaring sosial.
Kegiatan para pengguna 60+ selanjutnya didata oleh WWF untuk melihat dampaknya secara global. Lebih menarik lagi, aplikasi ini rencananya akan segera memiliki Game Center support sehingga para pengguna bisa saling berkompetisi melakukan beragam aktivitas penyelamatan bumi. Menarik bukan?

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
Great work, webmaster, nice design!
