Zune Firmware 1.3 Out

Zune MarketPlace

 

Just a reminder that the firmware update that you’ve been waiting for is now available. There is nothing new in the firmware other than fixing a couple of issues.

These are the things you’ll find on the update, as listed by Cesar for ZuneInsider:

  • We’re fixing the skipping problem that some users were experiencing – that is, content acquired from Zune Marketplace will no longer skip when played on the device.
  • Improved device and software reliability, when it comes to device detection, and improved sync’ing.
  • We’ve made some changes to the FM Tuner so it no longer drains the battery when in sleep mode.

Well its not been confirmed that they no longer will be in hiding, Pink Zunes will be on sale come May 1st for the usually retail price of $249.99.

    Zune Firmware Update - 1.2

    Zune

    In the wee hours Microsoft let lose update of the Zune firmware, this update is now 1.2. Zune software is following the lead with being updated to 1.2
    Sadly there is no added features, like WiFi video sharing, which people were hoping for, yet they have made dramatic improvements to the usability of the Zune and the speed at which it runs. This will be noticed most when browsing through massive lists of songs/albums and viewing a slide show of pictures. They have also added Windows Vista support for the Zune with in an update of the Zune software, which will also now be 1.2.
    There has not been an official release of the Zune firmware updates on the Zune site, but so far performance seems to be the only thing really improved on.

    If you run into problems and wont auto update, just plug in your Zune and right click on your Zune tag and select “check for updates”.
