Things have been messy lately between our beloved factory and Astak. They want Astak to greatly sell more units and Astak cannot at the price point we have.
I use to be in daily communication with the factory; but the Project Manager felt he needed to handle this himself only. The poor guy's wife is having a baby any minute and rightfully is worried.
When I ask him he says wait until he places the next order. There were major problems with the 5 inch firmware upgrades in March and April , 2010. That stopped all work on the 6 inch firmware upgrade.
I am sure word will come soon!
