I'm sure your efforts were appreciated, but I have to disagree that Philips "listens". So far as I can see, TSU3000 buyers have essentially been abandoned by Philips as they moved all efforts to the TSU7000. The latest PENG update is feeble, with no new features and many bugs left unresolved.

Philips simply don't get it -- the TSU3000/TSU7000 should be a PLATFORM, not a DEVICE. If they really want the thing to be a success, they should release specs on the file formats etc and let the community as a whole address the poor firmware/PENG issues.

My son is playing today with Lego Mindstorms robots. As a toy, this is very successful because Lego released an SDK and supported 3rd party efforts, so now you can get Java kits and C-language kits for the device, and there is a thriving community supporting and promoting the device. Lego benefits (increased sales), the users benefit (more choice). Anyone spot the difference between this model and Philips brain-dead one?
