by Rod on May 7, 2010

HTC Droid Eris

Just when I was about to buy my wife the HTC Incredible as I had given up hope Verizon would ever push an update, they go and give us hope. Rumors have circled that Verizon would be dropping support for the Droid Eris, which was sad news given they had yet to push a 2.0/2.1 update. It looks like the Eris will get all the new bits many have enjoyed for months.  See all the information over at Verizon Support [click to continue…]

Zune HD 4.5 Firmware Coming Soon

by Rod on March 29, 2010

Zune HD

While I love my Zune HD there are a couple thing that drive me crazy. First, for not logical reason many features of the device are removed the moment you add it the the Zune AV Dock. Next is creating a Smart DJ playlist when listening to music. Both of these features have been confirmed by the guys over at Engadget. For me this takes the one step closer to removing any Mac or PC from my home entertainment system. Next up streaming content from a network share. I have a friend that has build a app for the Zune the actually allow you to stream music from a network share now he just needs to submit this to the marketplace.

I have no clue if this 4.5 news has anything to do with the 64GB Zune Microsoft had on the site earlier today.  Engadget will have video coming soon.
