You think one can skip an upgrade?
If someone hasn't updated to r1128 yet (the march update), will they be able to update straight to the April one? Just checked and nothing out yet. I'm sure in a good 10 to 15 days we'll hear from ectaco concerning the april update. I had already estimated, the march update was released the first week of march, with a few days delay. Which means that the april update will be moved backwards a bit, with perhaps delays of their own; so... I do expect by the end of april for there to be a link, even if it's a non-finished (beta) firmware, with an estimation on how long for the finished FW update (eg: 3 or 4 more weeks..,or 3,5months)? I do estimate that by the end of april their FW will be largely done, perhaps some minor upgrades for the first and second week of may, and 2,5 months from that update another one to unlock the device (at least, that would be a reasonable deadline).

Those last 2 quotes where on whether or not we had a choice in the upgrade. Not really.
The first quote is about my impression. I've often been right in these things before, give or take a few days. But is nothing official. |

But to tell you the truth, I don't really care. A major update 16 days late and counting from the promised date and nobody complaining tells me no one else cares either. I believe Ectaco even less now about their "thousands of users". They've only had about five posting on their own forum. Andrew |

they only said to watch the April update.
In the beginning of April they updated their blog, It is courtesy to have at least something before the end of April. |

Actually, my JBC (which I got in early March with the latest firmware) has the note on its box: "Make sure to update your device on April 1st and May 1st for even more cool features and functions!". So at least 2 more updates were planned at that time.
But I don't really care, either. |

April 1st Update: jetBook Color It's time!!!!! If you haven't received the April 1st update we'll be posting it on our site (www.jetbook.net/update) within the next 2 days. It's about the company's Credit, not about update time. |

Just for clarification: User above copy/pasted straight from their blog; Is not an official Ectaco representative; and indeed they haven't posted the update yet.
It makes more sense to me to just wait until the final version is out. Last edited by ProDigit; 04-17-2012 at 08:19 AM. |

End of April is nearing, courtesy says they should release any time soon, but so far they haven't even released the school upgrade.
I think we can forget about an april update, it'll rather be a may update. |
