Bonus Zune Update Adds Games, Social Features

Today marked an unusual "mid-cycle" software update for the Zune: the new 3.1 update adds the curious feature of a "like minded listeners" option, which displays other Zune Social members who listen to your kind of music. That sounds a little too close to speed dating for my own comfort, but a feature is a feature, I suppose.

Far more useful are the three new games that have arrived on the Zune: Checkers, Sudoku and Space Battle (pictured). That Apple, a non-gaming company, has gotten so many games to the iPod should make Microsoft absolutely ashamed! So while three new games may not exactly beat the sudden catalog of iPod games, it's development in the right direction.
