New Zune Update Review (On 30GB Zune)

The recent and most dramatical zune update launched November 13th along with the new zunes. this update was on of the most awesome updates in zunes's short, infamous history. and no, you don't have to go and get a new zune if you already had a 30 GB one, because you pretty much get all of the firmware benefits with the update. The only major update is the wanted (at least by me) support for Podcast, so now i don't have to use iTunes for podcast! they also tweaked the look and font of the letter of the whole UI.

This is the new UI.


Another addtion to their awsome feature is the feature that you can now sync you Zune wirelessly to your library through you home network. the whole user UI just feel flawless and more intuitive, like when i first updated the zune, i felt i got a whole new device, that's how

"wow'ed" I was.

Along with firmware updates we got a whole new software to work with. This was one of the things that people of the zune community have been asking for, and some of these were answered, as i explained with the firmware update, it has Podcast support now, and you can subscribe to the from the Zune Market place.

Here's the new Zune Software.

Speaking of the Zune market place, the long awaited support for video content has now arrived. so now, when you look for and find the artist of you're choice, you simply click on the "video" button on the top right and you get a list of thumbnails of the videos corresponding the artist.

This is what you see when you are purchasing a video.

Another feature Zune is roling out and apperently alot of other publishers are roling out is Zunes Social servise. If you have Zune account, then you can make a profile and every time you sync you zune to your computer, it updates you profile and shows what song you've listened to. its kind of a music Myspace.

This is my profile in the social service.

So there you have it! that's a run down of the new features of the new Zune firmware and software.
