Creative Zen firmware fixes SD card issues?

[Dublo7]

So I was just searching around, reading about the new Creative Zen, and I came across this;

Quote:

Filename: ZEN_PCFW_L21_1_03_04.exe This download contains an improved version of the firmware found on your Creative ZEN™. It provides additional support for Secure Digital™ (SD) memory cards. For more details, read the rest of this web release note. Your player has been tested for compatability with SD memory cards.

Double-click the downloaded file and follow the instructions on the screen.

That firmware was released on the 14th of September. Has anyone here installed this firmware and had the SD integration fixed up a bit?

The whole SD card thing is the only real problem keeping me from buying the Zen.

Looks more like support for more cards than new functionality.

i've had 1.03.04 installed since right after getting the zen, it doesn't do anything if you're hoping it integrates the sd card into the main zen memory, it doesn't.

One thing i've noticed, if i'm playing music from the internal flash memory and i decide to pop out the sd memory, the music continues playing without a hiccup, i'm not sure what would happen if somehow both the player was able to combine both memory locations and then someone decided to pop out the sd card.

I've learned to live with separate menus for the sd and flash memories, it works fine.
