Zune firmware version 1.2 out now
December 18th, 2006 by 
Dustin Microsoft earlier today released the v1.2 firmware for the Zune. It features speed enhancements and a stability increase. Just plug in your Zune and the Zune PC software will tell you to update to v1.2
I updated my Zune earlier and found that the Zune PC software doesn’t seem to know when the Zune is done updating. So here is some advice; after the Zune updates and boots back to its home screen, it will then be safe to unplug the Zune from the PC.
The most noticeable change with this new firmware is the overall speed of the Zune. Scrolling through lists and transitioning from video to menu is much faster now.

I am trying to sync my zune for the first time. When it reaches the firmware stage, it locks up at waiting for device to update. The zune gives an instruction to plug it in, even though it is. What am I doing wrong?

Steve, I think the zune software is not detecting your zune device.
