Where most of us probably all have heard that Microsoft has launched its twitter app for the Zune HD. Not merely that many people however are aware that the app automatically censored all incoming and out going messages. This obviously caused a real storm through the land of Zune-news, and many bloggers and commenters were furious. Luckily this did not remained ignored by the Zune-team, as a Microsoft spokesperson told Gizmodo this:

“The recently released Twitter for Zune HD application has been abbreviating some explicit words in tweets when viewed on the device; however these explicit words do appear in their full text on the Twitter site or on any other Twitter client. We have identified the issue and are taking steps to update the application as soon as possible to ensure Twitter for Zune HD users are able to view tweets in their original state.”

As it turns out, “as soon as possible”, is now. So if you’ve installed the twitter app on your Zune HD, it is highly recommended to update it (if you care about this issue).
