Update Your Old Zune or Engrave Your New One

by Terrence O'Brien on November 13, 2007 at 03:40 PM

Zune Updates and Originals Get Official

The Zune 2.0 update is officially upon us. And not just in the form of new players, but in software updates for old Zunes as well. The new Zune 2.0 hardware will be on store shelves tomorrow, but those of you with Zune 1.0's can get a peak at the updates to the software now, by heading to Zune.net and downloading the firmware update.

The update will update your old 30-gigabyte Zune player with all the new Zune 2.0 features, including wireless sync-ing, Media Center compatibility and a redesigned interface.

Microsoft has also unveiled its Zune Originals page, where you can decorate your new Zune with laser-etched graphics and text. There will be 27 designs in the "Artist series" and 20 in the Tattoo series, all of which can be added to the Zune of your choice free of charge.

To be honest, this new Zune stuff makes Apple's laser engraving of the iPod look a little lame.
