If your lucky enough to to own a Microsoft Zune, then you’ll be interested to learn that Firmware upgrade 1.3 is now available. Included in the latest patch are a couple of enhancements around skipping issues with downloads from the marketplace and the FM Tuner draining down the battery in sleep mode. Anyhow, the official blurb is…

We’re fixing the skipping problem that some users were experiencing – that is, content acquired from Zune Marketplace will no longer skip when played on the device.

Improved device and software reliability, when it comes to device detection, and improved sync’ing.

We’ve made some changes to the FM Tuner so it no longer drains the battery when in sleep mode.

It looks like this release will clear up a few niggly issues.
