Firmware 2.9 ? - Page 2

bump ...

anything new on the 2.9 release date or mobipocket support (there was supposed to be an announcement, right)?

Matthijs · 02-07-2007, 03:32 AM

The 2.9 release is delayed a little.
We have decided to release 2.9 together with the (Windows) Companion Software which will also be able to automatically configure the wireless (network) connection to your PC. This needs some integration and testing, which is the reason for the delay.
We're still targeting February though.

OK, we will wait a little longer.

3 questions:

- Will the sound output work with both channels now?
- I have a computer with WiFi built in. No wireless router yet. Will that work with the iLiad?
- As the new update is about to come, could we see a list with new features?
(better power conservation, MP3-player, search function within viewers, simple file copy/move between memories, new viewers (mobipocket?) ) ????

Thanks for the work done already!

No, an ad-hoc network is not supported. That is technically possible, but from a GUI point of view complicated.

I will ask Karel to make a public announcement on our forum.

Hmm, a Windows interface. This sounds interesting, he thinks to himself out loud.

Any chance this is a stepping stone to the MobiPocket support some of us have been hoping for?

Still targetting February?
Oh

Not anytime soon then.
Meditation thread anyone?

Not really...not anymore...^^

I really hope for a mobipocket support some time soon. A real ebook format could bring a increase in popularity.

Will it be possible to read the pdf from http://books.google.com?

Surprisingly, this announcement is not.

You'll get you MobiPocket support real soon is my guess ... but it's much more likely to be on the Amazon device, when and if it releases, rather than on the iLiad ...

The pdf viewer needs a JPXDecode filter [JPEG2000 compression].

Can a moderator please edit the title of this thread? In my opinion it needs more question marks.

@Snowthief: :-) that's a good one :-)

Pardon my ignorance, but is it a big deal to add a JPXDecode filter?
