First Generation Zune Loaded with Second Generation Zune Firmware?

Engadget published a picture of the First generation Zune, clearly running a 2.1 Zune firmware version. What is less clear though, is when the firmware will be released. But expect it to be available when the Zune 2 and Flash Zune hit the market later this month or at the beginning of November.

Microsoft said all along that First Generation Zunes would not be outdated with the release of new Zune models. Good News!

Can’t wait to have this new firmware on my First Gen Zune. Let's now hope for new Wi-Fi Scenarios!

I love that the battery and wi-fi bar is vertical instead of horizontal...it looks so sexy

I just hope MS has finally (after 1 year) added unicode support for languages other than english. The only reason I sold my Zune is because it couldn't display kana, kanji, or hangul. If MS falls down on this, I will finally give up on them.

By the way, it only requires FOUR (4) font files to support these language options!!!!!
