The Zune HD is a pretty remarkable upgrade from its predecessor, and even though it may seemingly look perfect, it’s still not immune from bugs and software glitches. One such problem that got the ire of Zune HD owners is a playcount syncing issue, but Microsoft was quick to address this with the released of Zune HD firmware update v4.3.
Aside from that, it also features a snappier browser as well as “support for upcoming 3d games and applications, as well as an auto-suggest feature for better text input, and other minor improvements.” Needless to say, it’s a firmware update worth downloading. The video above is showcasing a v4.3 running Zune HD. To update to this latest firmware, just select Player Update on your ZuneHD and you’re good to go.
