I've heard Amazon has whole buildings/labs dedicated to the Kindle.
A little before we launched we barely had a desk dedicated to the Kobo eReader.
Me and a large part of the Kobo eReader team shared a pod designed to fit 4 people, we fit 6 people in there, plus me with all my boxes of prototypes and beta units, there was barely any room to even put my laptop down much less have a decent work station.
We've come a long way since then, each of us has our own desk now.. although no more pods, it's all open concept.
Re: the firmware update. There is another one coming "soon" and will address a couple of issues that people have.. ah.. voiced concern.. about, but it's primarily to deliver some key new features.
I can't say exactly when though (yet), you know how it is.
