Thanks to a firmware update, Microsoft addressed some of the little niggles in the Zune HD. Matt Miller upgraded his device to version 4.3 and sees a fair number of positive changes:
- Faster web browser
- Option in browser for desktop or mobile sites
- Predictive text in the keyboard
- Auto capitalization
- Larger landscape keyboard
- Toggle between seek or presets for radio
- Support for future 3D games
- Other minor updates and improvements, not specifically identified
The above video — which is ironically silent showing off an audio device — offers a glimpse of what Matt is seeing after his update. The predictive text and keyboard enhancements alone are worth the free price of admission for the upgrade.
