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 :)

All the new features and interface bumps of your second generation peers are just a click away. Microsoft has started dispatching updates for its Zune Player.
