So.... do I push 3.0 with just this fix.. or wait and get 3.0 up with volume control over the next couple days?

I guess it's really... how big of a problem is the skipping?
Push it dude. Share the love. This is a shippable unit mang.

I have used the latest for the past 12 hours... It skipped, or more precisely false started a song twice in the same areas it always does. It seems it only occurs if a song change and weak signal are simultaneous.

If a song is playing and I drive through weak signal area It stops until the buffer is satisfied and then resumes at the place in the song where it stopped. This is what I would expect and there were no freeze ups all day (and now night).

The quality is amazing (and free BTW. Thank you very much. ), and MAFW layer integration is done so well that even scripts I use in Simple Launcher to advance the song in media player will also advance the song in your player.

A volume slider is not necessary if you are using FMTX, which now can be enabled from your drop down menu, the receiver controls the volume (I smell qwerty12 ). If you are listening from the device itself the status bar volume slider does the trick. This is also how life should be.

Push it!

BTW, I would much rather see time spent on perhaps an either/or hard portrait configuration option for those mounting it in cars in portrait (Nokia's N900 ASR truly sucks balls ) and a button in portrait that can be script configured, or better yet, slides out the status bar menu so Quick Launch, MAFW volume, display brightness, and other status bar apps can be reached easily.
