Slightly Delayed, Zune 1.3 Update Arrives

Microsoft on Wednesday will release version 1.3 of the Zune firmware, which resolves a number of minor issues customers have been experiencing with the Redmond company's first portable music player and iPod rival. The patch was originally scheduled for March 20.

Included in version 1.3 is a fix for skipping issues some were experiencing with content purchased from the Zune marketplace; improved device and software reliability, which Microsoft says would offer better device detection and improved syncing; and changes to the FM tuner to prevent it from draining the battery during sleep mode.
