New, in the absolute sense, PW-2s are no longer being sold.

This is a "new to nypaulie" device, in contrast to the PW-2 that he has owned for several years.
It is also the "newer" of the two PW-2 models (4Gbyte).
This one was not purchased from Amazon and the seller did not list what firmware it is running.
Which is why we have to wait until he gets his hands on it to know what to do next.
