[APRIL FOOLS] New original jetBook firmware - 0.35a!

Kralik · 04-01-2010, 02:51 PM

After missing the December deadline... and the March deadline... at least they got it out one day later! Looks like B&N DRM support has been added and it seems a bit faster... though of course it's hard to tell whether that is subjective or not. Also they added variable zoom for PDF!!!

I'm still seeing 33g. Can you post a link?

JSWolf · 04-01-2010, 03:07 PM

eReader DRM us rather useless. Should have been ADE with Adobe's DRM added instead

If this is an "April 1st joke", it's not funny.

The links on that page don't seem to work.

They show a 0.15d-b JBL update link as well.

To update your jetBook to version 0.33g (Aug 17,2009) click here. (48,5 MB)

To update your jetBook-Lite to version 0.15d-b (Jan 11,2010) click here. (52,7 MB)

Jetbook link to 33g works. JBL link to 15d is broken.
Got the same on both pages that show downloads.
Methinks we've been had.

Nice one.

Had me fooled for awhile. Wouldn't be surprised if you could pull of the same thing next year

JSWolf · 04-02-2010, 06:28 PM

To be honest, it's not all that funny.

Jon, when you will finally sell your Sony 505 on eBay and buy jetBook-Lite?

It has DRM support now ...

OK. So is there or is -not- there a .34 firmware version? I've spent the last 2 1/2 hrs searching, and all I ended up with was the same v 0.33g, v13 patch I started out with.

Anyone?
PLEASE?

I just received my jetbook from newegg.com and this is under system settings / firmware version:

Software: v0.34c
Patch: v15

.rob. · 04-08-2010, 03:23 PM

So where can I go to get IT!!???

The jetBook.net site is no help, and since I ordered it through newegg, ecTaco is a big zero as well.

Do I understand that the first post was an April Fool joke?

(If so, maybe it could now be marked as such, to keep people from tearing their hair out looking....)

I don't know of any version 0.35 firmware.

What .Rob. is talking about are the various threads on different 0.34 versions and the fact that 0.34c (which is available on newer jetbooks) is not available for download on jetbook.net.
