Today, Wii owners in Europe, Japan, and the US can download a the new 3.0 firmware update. Look forward to a digital clock on the main menu, weather forecasts, and some aesthetic changes to the Wii Shop, as well as stuff to make it all a bit more user-friendly.

However, expect a message before updating that states: "If your Wii console has an unauthorized technical modification, this upgrade could cause interoperability of your console."

Well, what did you expect?

Get ready for the updates and fixes. Apple just released the first: iPhone update 1.0.1.

Apple has released a minor update to its iTunes and Quicktime software. According to Apple, "iTunes 7.3.1 addresses a minor problem with iTunes 7.3 accessing the iTunes Library." Apple also released Quicktime 7.2, which includes numerous security updates, and also packs support for full-screen viewing from Quicktime player.

FYI: about the 1.82 firmware update for Sony’s black box, hitting PS3s stateside now. The update (which is already available in Japan) will step up the AVC from Main Profile to High Profile, thus allowing playback of HD content via H.264/MPEG-4 files. Read On Grasshopper
