Microsoft recently released their new Zune 4.0 software update in preparation for the new Zune HD launch today. If you get a Zune HD you’ll need to download this software in order to use it. Microsoft does not ship the Zune HD with any software installed on it.

Zune 4.0 requirements:

PC only! This won’t work on a Mac OS. You can download Zune 4.0 for Windows 7, Vista, or XP (32-bit version and 64-bit version) from the Zune.net website. I’ve added a link to the download page below.

Note: The Zune HD 4.0 update does have an Apps for Zune HD section which will bring up an unavailable message. The Music section also brings this up (as of this posting).

Microsoft recently released the new Zune 4.0 update for the Zune HD. It will have Apps! A section in the new Zune 4.0 software says apps for Zune HD. Unfortunately no apps appear to be available. I’m getting the following message: “Item isn’t available. Try again.”. Microsoft will most likely be opening this up some time later today. Their site at Zune.net still appears to be down. The music page also has this message.

I still have yet to get my new Zune HD. QuickPWN.com will have a full review up once we get our Zune HD! Stay tuned.

Zune.net down in preparation for new Zune HD launch, and Zune 4.0 software

Tomorrow Microsoft will finally release the new Zune HD with 16 GB/32 GB MP3 player. In preparation for the new Zune HD and Zune 4.0 software launch, Zune.net has been down since 11:00 AM PDT. Microsoft had already notified Zune owners of this downtime in advance, but for some reason their e-mail ended up getting in my spam box on Hotmail.

No features of the Zune 4.0 software update will be announced until it’s actually released. There have been leaked videos on Buy.com showing that the Zune HD will have games, and there has also been a video revealing that the Zune HD will have Apps and an SDK.

Some time on September 15 Microsoft will bring Zune.net back up along with the new Zune 4.0 update. QuickPWN.com will be doing a Zune HD review and a Zune HD vs iPod Touch 3rd generation comparison once it’s out. Stay tuned!
