I emailed Ectaco after buying a jetBook with some suggestions for improving the product. I also offered to help test new firmware. They took me up on my offer. I have no idea how many others are doing the same.

Almost all companies are very secretive about the details of unreleased products, firmware, software, etc. Ectaco isn't doing anything different, although I do think they should provide a change log with each new firmware.
Keep in mind that other than allowing me to test some beta firmware, I have no inside information about Ectaco's plans for the jetBook. As I am not under an NDA, it is no surprise that they are not divulging proprietary business plans to me.
What little information I do have comes primarily from hands on testing of the firmware. After testing, I email Ectaco my suggestions and also post here. I did get permission from Ectaco to post about my experiences on the forum. It's not much, but I contribute what I can.
There is one future enhancement that was mentioned to me in an email, but I don't have any details yet. When I know more, I'll post here, providing I have Ectaco's ok to do so. I don't want to spoil their plans by speculating on future possibilities. If you ask, I'll tell you it is a cybernetic brain implant for your jetBook
