The unit is so slow! Going from the home page to power off takes forever. Some web pages, like my library consortium here in Oregon, take up to 60" to access, let alone load.
The joystick is so slow and imprecise that when I get to a button, I have to diddle back and forth up and down half the time to hit it.
I agree re the unit's potential. When you talk of firmware upgrade, folks, do you mean the initial one that in effect, moved early adopters from beta to first release -- or has there been further improvement. My wife and I each have one, and we need more infor before deciding whether to throw them back to Heartland and let them grow up some more.
BTW as a brand-newbie, I'm impressed by the civility and good cheer in these forums.

Jim,
If you paid the Heartland full price I believe it was $130 then my personal suggestion would be if you have the return time available wait until like September 2nd to see if Augen actually puts out a valid and viable upgrade
if not "throw them back to Heartland" as fast as you can and get you money back.
I believe that K-Mart has given up on the “TB” most manager will give you a open box price of $65 on any units that they have in as returns.
