This is a major update. It does not just affect the device hardware functionality but also the software and online interaction as well. The following changes have been reported: there is finally a video marketplace, social aspect, you can now sync Zune cards, auto playlists, TV shows can be downloaded, Zune reminders, you can sync groups, video browsing, genre browsing, gapless playback, reputation badges, Windows Live Now Playing can now be accessed, search friends by their real names, instant friends, user reviews for albums and artists.

All I can say is WOW. This is seriously a major update which will take the Zune experience to the next level. One big area that Microsoft has really focused on is the social part. They are really trying to make your Zune not just an MP3 player but a place where you go to buy songs and communicate with your friends about songs and swap songs. They want Zune to be THE place where you go for music. Interesting, let's see how this pans out...
