Sometimes you should really talk to people… “ Let me start by saying, i absolutely love Zync, currently myself and my wife are about 2000 miles apart but we love to watch movies together and it allows us to talk and watch together and its the closest thing we have to actually being together….Thanks again we love zync its really made being apart more bearable!” “ I have been using it on a daily basis since I first discovered it 4 months ago.” “ Awesome! Being able to watch the same video at the same time, with the friend who is on the other side of the globe? With a simple plug-in? You can't beat that. Great , great, great! ” Yiming Liu, David A.
