Though I’m not seeing it yet (must be a staged rollout) the 4.3 firmware for Zune HD has just been released. I’m going to change my region to US to see if that jolts it.

UPDATE: I forced the update using the following instructions from charms55 on the Zune forums.

1. Press POWER/MEDIA (side) buttons together for 15 seconds. wait for the full time or until you see the screen that tells you you will need to connect to use the device THIS WILL NOT DELETE YOUR CONTENT.

2. Start the Zune desktop software and reconnect your Zune. The update should start right away.

 

Sounds like a decent upgrade with RedmondPie reporting the following updates:

  • 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.
  • Other bug fixes.

Now….where is that Twitter application?
