The so-called squirting functionality of the first-gen Zune could come back in future Microsoft-powered devices such as PCs, tablets, smartphones and the Xbox 360 using near-field tech. Files could be beamed using NFC, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct pairing, frequent rumor source MS_Nerd tweeted. This would be yet another step in Microsoft’s attempt to unify the experience across its devices, with the first step being the Metro user interface.
Sharing files between nearby devices quickly and efficiently without pulling them down from a cloud service is more efficient. This could include photos, music, videos, and documents.
Below is a video demonstrating how beaming between Microsoft-powered hardware would work.
I just can’t believe there’s not a better word that could be used to describe the process. Squirting? Really? Keep a wet nap handy folks.
