Zune HD software updates to 4.3 Microsoft has updated the firmware of the Zune HD today, skipping over version 4.2 and moving directly to 4.3.
Says the software giant:

"Today we released the v4.3 firmware update for Zune HD players; this update adds support for upcoming 3d games and applications, as well as an auto-suggest feature for better text input, and other minor improvements. Enjoy!

What’s new in Zune HD 4.3 Firmware

-Support for the upcoming 3D games and applications.

-Auto Suggest feature for text input.

-Faster web browsing experience.

-Landscape keyboard

-Keyboard option has been added in the settings section.



-New toggle between seek and presets under Radio.

-Under the Internet in settings, you can now toggle to default mobile or desktop webpage layout.

-Artists bios are updated; embedded links to other artists in text.

Of all the updates, the most popular will likely be the landscape keyboard (which frankly should have been there since the start) and the auto-suggest which will make it much easier to type URLs and other search queries.

Is this news??? I bet the Zune has less than 1% of the market and is still losing ground. The hardware is good the software terrible.
