There were some rumors that the 302 firmware is planned for april 15th, but I won't be surprised if it is postponed again...

Edit:
I talked to soon, according to the Google Translation of the Russian forum:

Term Output SDK and firmware 302go shifts due to preparations for the line novvovedenie Pro.

The links to the firmware version 2.06 for the pro series have been posted this morning on the russian forum:

602:

603:

http://www.pocketbook-int.com/downlo...2.0.6_user.zip
http://www.pocketbook-int.com/downlo...2.0.6_user.zip

903:

http://www.pocketbook-int.com/downlo...2.0.6_user.zip

As it seems, Housekeeper's announcement only referred to the new line of models.

So far, updates are only available for North America (NA) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Edit:

As OphReader has pointed out on the German sub-forum, it's worth twiddling the filenames in the links. Thus, firmware versions for 902 become available, too, as well as the North American firmware version for 602:

thanks and karma!

EDIT: perhaps some German speaking member can ask Forkosigan if there is a 2.0.6 for us in Europe, too? I presume if we flashed the CIS version it would be in Russian, right?

Paola, I have started a thread on the German sub-forum:

Surely Forkosigan will pipe up.

Not fixed.

I was really surprised by their working speed. Is it a very complicated task? Maybe there is only one guy working on all the firmwares in the entire company?

official response:
Due to major complexities, minimum 2 lines of code or even more would have been needed to solve that bug with the keymappings, sadly we could not find the time and the resources yet to fix that major bug. We beg your patience, and we are very optimistic that it will be solved this year, or perhaps next year, but in any case it will be solved, you can count on that, because we (pocketbook) are specialized on ebook readers, and we produce only ebook readers, not like Sony that makes TVs and DVD players and additionally they make also ebook readers.

It says 'official response', but to me this reads like a parody response one of us bitter 302 owners would have made up... was this real?

please do not do that again, cipri. We didn't take any actions against you because of your "gags", but his is more serious. Please consider yourself officially warned.
