Center For Peeksters Who Love Peeking

Crash Test Pilots - Look here

CTP's we want to give you a quick update:

-The flash cables will start going out this week. Everyone should have their cables by 2/6.
-The software upgrade utility is sort of ready but the bad news is that its takes about 10 minutes to update a Peek. Just an FYI; the utility we use at Peek HQ takes about 1 minute to perform the update so we know something is up.

We are working with Texas Instruments to better understand our implementation of the software.

We'd be willing to release the Peek updater to some local CTP's. Anyone from the NYC/SF area want to test the Peek updater? You'd have to be patient while you run the update. We were thinking of keeping it local just in case your Peek gets bricked. We can always recover it at HQ.

I don't mind a 10 minute delay either. So, if you want to send me a cable and the upgrade tool I will give it a whirl. I am not a cry baby so I can send in my peek if it bricks. That is why I signed up to be a crah test pilot to test unstable software right? Let me know how you feel.

So, if I understand correctly. When I get the cable this week I should be able to go to http://drop.io/Peek108Upgrade and upgrade my Peek correct? I just want to make sure I am on the same page you are on. :^)
