Folks,

Was talking with a contact at Philips today.
Here is some info about the next firmware release:

Q: Regarding a newer version (2.3.13) firmware
being reported for the 3000?

A: "The version 2.3.13 only contains an improvement
for the calibration process within our factory.
There is no impact whatsoever on the performance
or functionality towards the user. As it may be
confusing to the user I will investigate if we
can use less visible version changes, so users
will not think they need to upgrade."

Q: When do you expect the next firmware release
to be out and what enhancements can we expect?

A: "The next Pronto NG update can be expected
late March (you may spread that news) where both
firmware and editor will be updated. The firmware
update will be a major one with many improvements
(e.g. battery life, macro execution time reduced,
faster IR-sending) and some new features (timers,
multi line text in button)."

(I am assuming this is the bigger update people
have been waiting for, on the 3000. Maybe this
one will be the "dual" version, usable on 3000
or 7000?)

So, hopefully we will see some new stuff soon.
