Xbox Live's Major Nelson claims in his latest podcast that there will be "plenty of goodies" to look forward to in the next Xbox 360 dashboard update.

In addition to Facebook and Twitter integration, Major Nelson has hinted that the dashboard update will include a lot of new content, though he didn't elaborate any further.

Referring to NXE, the name of the last significant dashboard update, Major Nelson said "Whatever we call it, and it's not going to be called the NNXE, but whatever the next version of the dashboard is called, it's better with a lot of very cool new features."

One major enhancement that we can expect to see is a faster and smoother dashboard, and a significant improvement to the running of the Xbox 360 guide.

"We are making the guide faster," said Nelson also stating that the dashboard will benefit from a few tweaks.

The update, expected to arrive in the Autumn, will also add the Last.fm integration tool, which lets users stream music and create customer radio stations which can then be share with Xbox Live friends. Users can also look forward to accessing Sky content directly from their Xbox 360.

It's going to be interesting to see what other surprises Microsoft has up its sleeve.
