Waow !
unfortunately i have not the money to buy one now,
if some of you guys buy one , could you post somewhere a dd image of the system partitions, ?
so that i could test AccessBook and other existing hacks on this new OS release… ( i suppose it would work on the old version 's Mybook device with slow speed… )
This is a new challenge for this Forum !
Regards,
