Yesterday I had a meeting w/ James, the Zune release manager and he spilled the beans on the next firmware update. In Mid March, we’re going to release Zune Firmware Update 1.3.  Here’s what’s in the update:

• 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.

I really hope they add support for podcasts, and bookmarks. I really need bookmarks for these long audiobooks I listen to.

Firmware only?
written by David, March 02, 2007

I agree, I'd love to see podcasts and bookmarks (well, bookmarks more so since I'm getting away with RSS in IE7 and iTunes for podcast downloads).

But just because they have a firmware update doesn't mean we're getting a software update. And just because we only have 3 bullets for the firmware update doesn't mean we're not going to see new items in the software. Or - at least - I'm HOPING!!!

Well, where is the update? I'm tired of the skipping, and I want some way to organize the files.
