How long have you had your iLiad

Adam B. · 02-06-2008, 04:47 PM

It seems like we have a lot of new users here who have not gone through a software update before. Having going through at least 6 of them, I found this a little amazing.

So here's the poll. How long have you owned your iLiad? I'm going to have it close automatically after a month as the information will keep changing.

Only a few days ago I installed the Developer Package, and then FBReader and Dillo. I've yet to upgrade from 2.11 to 2.12. I've been wondering if, post-upgrade, these two applications will "break" and whether I'll have to apply for the Developer Package again, but, hey, might as well give it a bash, hey?

Cheers,
Marc

After each update you have to reapply for the developer package and reinstall all the used applications. (Well, most anyway

)

Easy, as that, hey? Well, that'll be a doddle. I might even give it a burl right now. Thanks, tribble!

My iLiad came with firmware 2.4 [July 2006].

I was one of the early adopters.

Had 2.11 on it ... and have it still

Just updated it, applied for and downloaded the developer package, reinstalled FBReader and Minimo (not "Dillo", as I thought I had, and I had to edit the Minimo installer script file to change the version to 2.12 as Adam mentions elsewhere), and all is working well.

Cheers,
Marc

I would have liked to see an option called "Since Day 1", since there was none I just chose "over a year"...

Oh no, the statistics will have a severe bias. (Unless we have a few thousand probands)

Started with 2.11 then learned after 2.12 that i should probably be a little more careful in updating if I want to keep my programs working.

just a remark: when you request the developers package on a mac, be sure to use Firefox instead of Safari.
Safari will not get the package ready for download with your iliad.
