Zune 1.3 Firmware in the Wild

Image Now that we are officially going to be doing reviews for the Microsoft Zune, it is not a bad idea to keep our readers up on the news with the Zune.

Today firmware version 1.3 came out that is set to directly fix Music Skipping that is downloaded from the Marketplace and to help with the issue of the FM Tuner draining the battery while the Zune is in standby mode.

Our Zune took the update easily and so far all is well.

 
FGOW 3/26 - Mousecaster

Coming to us this week for our Forgotten Gadget of the Week is the Mousecaster. This device was the brain child of SmarTech Ltd but never did make it into the mainstream computer users arsenal.

Image

It is a very simple and yet powerful idea, stick a FM Radio tuner in the main accessory of any computer system, the mouse! The problem was you needed to use their one style of mouse and it was not likely to be a fancy gaming mouse with buttons coming out of every surface or precision that can be used to count atoms in your mousepad (I just checked and my pad has just over 4 trillion). A few years, or maybe months, after the Mousecaster came out it was total forgotten. I guess everything Made In California does not become an instant sucess like the iPod!

Amazingly enough the website is still active at MouseCaster.com. So if you are itching to get your hands on one, you might still have a chance.

We have always loved to do reviews on cases that are made for protecting your device in any situation. Since OtterBox is not currently making a case for the Zune, Yotank filled our urge to take our device wherever we go with the Zune Tank.

Image

The Yotank for the Microsoft Zune looks like it could be an awesome case, make sure to check back soon to see our full review!

The start of a new special - FGOW

In the business of gadgets there are always those massively popular gadgets *cough* iPod *cough*, but at the same time everyday many gadgets are overlooked and forgotten about. That brings me to our brand new special news article here at Tech Islands. Every week or so we are going to be posting the Forgotten Gadget of the Week.

Image

 

To start things off, this weeks FGOW is the Russian gas powered engine boot.

Image

These "boots" were created by Viktor K. Gordeyev but soon classified by the Russian Military. After they were declassified in the 90s, Gordeyev tried to capitalize off the invention but never succeeded and the main news people have been seeing on the boots is the announcement that they will no longer be made.
