I have been running with the 1.7.1 update for a few days now and I have to say, it all appears to work very well!

Not sure about the battery issue, I have to say I have always been disappointed with the battery life but the tabs now make the device very usable.

It is also encouraging that iRex issued a "patch" for an existing major issue. Perhaps they are starting to learn. Adding new features is great, but they need to make sure that patches follow bugs quickly else they will lose their clients to competitors.

Lets hope the next full firmware release fixes the battery life once and for all (before my battery packs up once and for all).
