I am sure that many many people are waiting for the update to be released.

Ive been checking this site a couple times a day for the release since friday, but i realize we have to be patient.

Handful seems to me posing here on a daily basis. Handful, is it possible to just make a new thread in itt.com forums to announce the update?

I took his email this morning to mean it was being released today by noon. He came back and said that was a dev release. Maybe we'll get more info tomorrow. I'm a 770He user, so I'm really dying to see this for the,first time.

Hi Guys,

It's always pain to come here and post about delays etc, but we know how software goes, you have a choice: release it as it is, or try to give that last help to fix something.

The thing is we really want everyone with support. And we are very glad to say:
It's working nicely on the 770, but apart from 770.. theres one special problem with BORA (2007 and also HE) : a really nasty DBUS bug in the download manager. It simply doesn't work as expected, it crashes easily, and after 2 days of not only investigating but testing / experimenting with that we are giving in our last try: dealing in the DBUS level (not on canola anymore) So now not only the canola team, but also our friends on platform development are focused on solve this.
Chinook is working perfectly (for what we wanted in this release)


I would like to hear from you: Do you think is better to wait a little bit more and have a global update with all the features working or..

Do we remove podcast feature from BORA (and gregale) and release it as it is?

To be really honest, We all want to try a little bit more in solving this **** issue, and release a nice version for the 770 users. We are all committed to that, we are happy to have the packages for the 770 owners, but this issue is really killing us and as you imagine it's hard to be able to change a old version of software : /

Also, if we think it stills a little bit suspicious we would ask some of the brave ones here to help testing it on their 770... before releasing it

Hope you guys understand it : /

BR

Marcelo

I am not sure how many people have the 770, 800 or 810, but I guess the ones with the 770 are the people of the first hour, and a common release (time/date) for all, with common features would be nicest/cleanest.

Personally I can wait a little longer, even though I have the 800 ;-)

Really appreciate the regular updates!

Release it now! Chinook is the most up-to-date os version, so it's the most important one. If anyone hesitates to move to chinook, fine but they will have to deal with not being the main focus. (I know a few people think that bora is "better", or at least certain aspects of it, but i think the more people move to chinook, use it, report bugs, the faster all issues are resolved.)

as a 700 (OS2006) user i would say, release it now!

as a 800 (OS2008) user i would say, yeah, release it now!

why? you said you are planning on having regular updates from now on... so... let them come when they come, we are very anxiously waiting for them! =)

if i didn't have the n800 i would love to get my hands on canola2 for the 700 today... oh yeah... too long to wait since christmas... and there are a lot of 700 users out there.

Continuem com o excelente trabalho

ZEEZ - As I mentioned in a previous post (N770 - the forgot tablet), people fail to remember that the 770HE software is the latest software for many of us. We are not able to use Chinook. As a "senior" member, you should know that. Unless you have forgotten about the N770.
Handful - please advise us forgotten tablet users what will be lacking in our version of this software if released now. Once again, I appreciate your teams continued efforts to work on a release for us that is comparable to the others.
