STAReBOOK firmware update delayed!
Well, it appears there has been some delay for the STAReBOOK firmware update.
Clark at stareread could not tell me the exact date, but it's supposed to be soon. Let's just hope it won't be an iRex soon... I'm hoping there will be more information soon, especially about the expected features for the new firmware... |

that is the information I am waiting for now. I hope Clark will be willing and able to tell me something. From earlier information it should bring corrected word wrapping and better fonts, everThing else is guesswork.

Sounds like it should be worth while for us STAReFOLK.
And now, if only they would let me read plain text files...... I wonder if they'll employ a user interface designer with a clue to clean up the PC software thou. It works, but its a bit over blinged for my liking. Micro |

I can't help you with the buying side of it. I travelled to taiwan to buy mine (I was going there anyway thou, I'm not that much of a geek. Oh wait, I am). Support seems pretty responsive once you work out how to access them. Its a live chat messanger style thingo.
Maybe email them direct and ask them. you never know but they might be willing to ship internationally. There are actual STAReREAD shops and they might ship internationally. good luck, |

The last info I got was June.
The cooperation with a french company is coming to is fruition soon according to Clark Lee, and apparently the new firmware is somehow related to that. Clark told me that I could send my device in to have it safely reflashed with the french firmware, but I think i'll wait and se what happens and what other options there'll be before doing that. |

unfortunately I have no new information. I'll try to contact Clark or Ivan again in a few days and ask for an update.
I don't have my STAReBOOK right now since I lent it Tribble for testing purposes so if they release the firmware update in the next few days I'll be very angry... ![]() |
