* Improved Voice Quality -- the audio codec is being updated to improve Xbox LIVE Party chat audio quality. So grab your friends and jump into a multiplayer game, catch a big sports event, watch a movie or do all three.

* Improved Experience For Changing Your Gamertag -- choosing a new Gamertag? If the Gamertag you're looking for is already taken, your Avatar will spin a wheel and we will provide five other Gamertag suggestions at a time for you to choose from. Awesome!

* Streamlined In-Dashboard Virtual Keyboard -- we've taken the existing QWERTY keyboard in-dash and made it easier to use for scenarios that involve repeated text entry, for example when signing up for Live within the dashboard.

* Improved Xbox Live Marketplace UI and Browse Experience -- the Games Marketplace has been re-organized to provide streamlined access to the games and content you want, reducing the number of steps it takes to get to a download.

* Avatar Changes -- we've made your avatars slightly more proportional so you can better play Kinect games

* Easier To Get On A Wireless Network -- trying to connect to a wireless network? With the next update, you'll see a list of all the wireless networks within range when you go into network settings. From there, you'll be able to select a new network or further configure the network you're connected to.

* Ability To Sign-Out Other Controllers In The Sign-In UI -- we're adding the ability to sign-out profiles on other controllers in the sign-in UI within the Guide. This is especially useful when playing games like Rock Band.

* New Browse Experience For 100 Percent Completed Games -- you spent a lot of time and effort earning those Achievements, so instead of only being able to view your first dozen completed games, we're giving you a new and better way to browse all of them.

I was expecting that to say 'If the Gamertag you're looking for is already taken, and the user of that gamertag has been inactive for n months/years, we will let you have it!' (Since you are paying and they are not)

e did mention on Major Nelsons podcast at Comi-Con that they are looking at releasing all the lost and abandoned Gamertags in the future, so fingers crossed! :-)
 
Hmm, interesting. Some of these things aren't even in the preview program thingy. I've certainly not seen a streamlined virtual keyboard or new 100% game browsing experience. :confused:

In all the documentation blurb released so far, it's always explicitly said upgraded audio in Party chat. No mention of in-game chat. Are they still keeping the manky codec for non-Party comms? I can't work it out.
