I don't think so. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...

1. Download the rar file, and uncompress.
2. Copy the SmartQ7 file to the root of a FAT32 formatted SD card (standard card you have is probably fine.)
3. Turn off your Q7. Insert the SD card.
4. Hold down the Function key (the one with the menu, on the front -- next to the + and - keys) and connect the charger.
5. Sit back and let the firmware load. The machine will boot itself into the new version.

At least, that's how it worked when I installed Mer -- can't imagine it's different with the new one. I'm downloading it now.

Somebody confirm?
