So is this late-February firmware upgrade for the PRS-505 delayed - or just a rumor? Or does anyone have any more knowledge of the actual anticipated release date?

Unless the new firmware arrives and adds more than the hacks: menu font, clock, new icons, etc. I'll keep the hacks.

What will happen after the new firmware is we'll have a new hack maker as we'll be able to flash again should it go horribly wrong.

I think the February date was a rumor/speculation in the first place. I suspect that if they were, in fact, aiming at a late Feb. release, it was probably delayed by Adobe finally getting off the dime on a mobile version of Digital Editions -- that is, when Adobe announced their mobile DE (late in January, was it?), Sony might have said, hold the presses, we need to get that in order before we do a firmware update.
But that is all guesswork, so salt to taste. |

With all the angst about Bookeens firmware update, we've heard little of Sony's recently.

There are pretty few actual "bugs" in the Gen3, either - most of them were fixed in an "internal" firmware upgrade made in late December. What most of us are hoping for in the forthcoming upgrade is new functionality, rather than bug fixes.
