Sooner than expected Microsoft have released the latest upgrade for the Zune. If you speak incorrectly (ie American) you’ll notice that the date’s 4/5, coincidence..?

Yeah probably.

Anyway, anyone with a Zune should now be able to use Smart DJ, get personal music recommendations, browse the market place through your TV and (with much trumpeting and stamping around) natively play an expanded range of video formats including DivX. Take that majority of the world.

Installation went swimmingly for me in the UK, everything was boringly simple and all seems to work well. However Zune guru IceInPerson has mentioned people having problems with Smart DJ, so watch out.

Nothing much else to report… go get it already.

Oh almost forgot, they’ve also announced the new 64GB version of the HD, fantastic if you watch a lot of films and for making me feel slightly inferior with my mere 32GB.

Let me know what you think below, I’m off to laugh at Apple users for having to change the format of all their videos.
