"Wednesday, March 28, you’ll be able to download firmware update 1.3. Mea culpa on communicating a non-final date in my earlier post (which ended up being wrong). Just to recap, 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."
Update supposed to be available about 10:00 am EST
.... okay, so when are they going to update the Zune in such a way that you will be able to access the Zune store directly from your Zune? Would it be too much to ask to be able to download and flash firmware without a PC also?
