The new Zunes now have the ability to wirelessly sync within range of a host computer. Microsoft also dropped the 3-day limitation from its “3-day-or-3-play” DRM scheme, gave the Zune the ability to playback content from Windows Media Center-enabled PCs and added support for h.264 and MPEG-4 file formats.


When Microsoft announced the new Zune, it also shocked many in the industry when it noted that first generation Zunes — now called the Zune 30 — would also receive the new Zune software features via a firmware update.


Microsoft sent out an email to current Zune 30 owners yesterday informing them that the new firmware update along with updated Zune Marketplace software will be available on November 13.

It looks like Samsung’s snazzy YP-P2 just became even more attractive. Apparently, the P2 will be hit with an update this December that enables a Bluetooth connection to one’s mobile phone, BT file exchanges and the addition of an e-dictionary . In late January of 2008, you can expect an upgraded Touch UI along with FM recording / playback.

Finally its looking like a device thats worth buying :)

The iPhone elite dev team says they’ve unlocked 1.1.2. Downloads are here on the Google code site. This is unconfirmed and untested as of right now, but if you just can’t wait to get your 1.1.2 iPhone unlocked, there you go. Someone ping us in the comments below and let us know if it works for real.

The team has basically figured out a way to downgrade 1.1.2 to 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 and unlock it. They haven’t actually unlocked the 1.1.2 iPhone, because it hasn’t been jailbroken yet, but they have unlocked the new modem firmware.

Right on schedule, Nokia has announced its latest addition to the multimedia-centric (and game-riffic) Nseries line, the N82 candybar. The phone clearly bears a striking resemblance to its recently announced cousin—the N81 slider—but the N82 ups the ante with a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens paired with autofocus (naturally) and a xenon flash. Other features include microSD expansion, support for Nokia’s own Ovi goodies, WiFi, assisted GPS, a 2.4 inch QVGA display front and center, and an honest-to-goodness 3.5mm headphone jack like the N95 before it
