Jason Dunn Executive Editor Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 29,160		Zune HD 4.3 Firmware Released Today <p>There's a Zune HD firmware update that has just been released - it will take your Zune HD from 4.1 to 4.3...I don't know why they skipped 4.2, nor do I know what this firmware update adds or fixes. There's no information about this firmware update at Zune Insider. My Zune HD didn't automatically detect the new firmware update - I had to go into Settings > Device > Player Update in order to get it. It installed without a hitch, but I don't know what's been changed. If anyone has any information, please share!</p> __________________ Want to contact me personally? Use this.

Stuff that might now be on the surface of the player, or very apparent? Maybe a browser change or just all under the hood. My only two complaints: No Squirting and not being able to reply to messages on the device.

It also improves the keyboard so that it fills up the entire screen in landscape mode. There is a predictive text feature so that as you are typing, suggestions come up on the top of the keyboard. It fixes the playcount problem. There are a few new options in the settings menu. There are some other little things i probably havent mentioned, but overall its a pretty cool update that should lead to other games and apps updates soon!

The Zune team should be so embarrassed about that; I was sure they'd fix it ASAP. __________________ Want to contact me personally? Use this. Want to read my personal blog? Check it out.

I get more than that on my watch. If the Apps don't start flowing and getting decent (something other than a handful of games) I'll start wondering what the point was. __________________ Sometimes you are the anteater, sometimes you are the ant.
