Zune Firmware 1.3 coming in March

 Cesar from ZuneInsider has revealed that new firmware will be released for the Zune in mid March (most likely 20th). The new firmware update will do the following:

  • Fix the skipping problem. Content acquired from Zune Marketplace will no longer skip.
  • Improved device and software reliability, when it comes to device detection, and an improved sync.
  • Changes to FM Tuner so that it doesnt drain the battery when in sleep mode anymore. 
  •  So now hopefully that skipping problem that’s been reported for awhile will stop bugging you and the Zune will be slightly better than it was before. The firmware will NOT feature any major upgrades. Maybe next time.

    Yeah I think allot of people where a little disappointed with the lack of actual new features, and only fixes coming out.

    Fingers crossed for next time ay?

    Yes I’m kinda disappointed about the “upgrade”, I’m still waiting to use my zune as an external hard drive in any computer. Well next time

    Maybe in the “2.0″ update will we get it better, usually this happens with a lot of devices.

    […] 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. […]
