As of this moment, the Jetbook does not have this firmware update nor can it use the firmware. (I tried.)

I have a Libre, and I can heartily recommend the hardware. Newegg is currently selling it for $179.99, and I think it's worth it.
Does it mean that jetBook can be reprogrammed with Aluratek firmware and
will have Adobe DE support?
