SlashGear JapanMicrosoft have announced an update for their Zune PMP, version 2.5, which introduces new functionality to the device’s software and firmware, as well as the Zune Marketplace online media store. Gapless playback and auto-playlists, together with the ability to synchronize multiple devices simultaneously (and queue up new tracks for loading when the PMP is next plugged in) have all been added to the Zune itself. Meanwhile, more than 800 television shows – including South Park, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica and SpongeBob SquarePants – have been added to the Zune Marketplace, priced at 160 Microsoft Points per episode (approximately $1.99).
So, this week we decided to try something new, every week, at the end of the week, we are going to do a Week In Review where we take a quick glance back to all products we covered and any and all other especially interesting news. its kind of like a “what you might have missed” for the end of the week, a summary if you will. So, please, leave us a comment and let us know if you like it, or if there is something you think we should add or remove from it, thanks again for reading.
Sure, you can find 4GB and 8GB flash models all over the place. Once again though, MS put their eggs in the wrong basket and focused production efforts on the flash models expecting them to be the ones selling out, but no, it’s the new 80GB versions that are sold out both online and in retail stores.
