It's just a normal install, I'm almost done so I'll let you know very shortly. I plugged my device into the laptop, executed the file and now i'm updating. Same process as updating my jasjar.

Anyone else getting an error 260-8? It tells me to soft reset, I do and still get the error.

Looks Like I'll have to re-cook my extended rom but so far it's all good.

There's now a battery indicator icon in the top bar

AND it comes with a screen lock program!

My update went perfectly...

Just follow the instructions on your PC, then on the PPC.

It was s-i-m-p-l-e

Now to Sync & re-install.
