Update your dashboards

News from Jae - Wednesday, 07 December 2011 @ 4:35am

Tomorrow Microsoft will publish the latest dashboard update that brings in two main features. One being the voice control capabilities of Kinect. Finally Microsoft has captured the essence of being 'okka' and have now configured the machine to understand our native tongue of Aussie-English or as I like to call it, English.
The second feature is the ability to watch certain television channels direct through your Xbox and internet connection, namely ABC iView2, SBS ON DEMAND 2, YouTube3, Daily Motion and Crackle3. What ever happened to the days of simple 7,9 10, ABC and SBS? Digital brings in a whole lot of channels with an abundance of Friends episodes. You can never have enough Friends.

Not all features will be available on the first day but they aim to roll these out throughout the month of December.

Let us know if your Kinect understands your best 'fair dinkum' accents whilst I attempt the world's worst Aussie pronounciations.
