LOOX Flash Update Available
http://support.fujitsu-siemens.de/PDA/Pocket_LOOX_www/GB/SoftwareUpdate.htm
I am not sure what this is honestly. It doesn't appear to be EUU3 since that .CAB file is larger than any of those executables, but I could be wrong. I downloaded the English version hoping to extract a README file but WinZip wouldn't open it.  So, any of you LOOX owners want to give it a go and let us know exactly what it is, we'll update this post. Thanks!

UPDATE: Ok, WillyG has flashed his LOOX and these are the new items he has found.
� New Bliss theme
� Media Player 8.5 (Build 12177) Cool - seems this does include EUU3
� Start | Settings | Input | Options includes a new recording format "GSM 6.10" which i havent noticed earlier. Probably for the upcoming addon pack.
� "Storage Card 1" and "Storage Card 2" are now labeled "CF-Card" and "SD-MMCard" in File Explorer
� Pocket Plugfree (bluetooth manager) updated from version 1.0 (Build Date: 2002/07/22 17:17:21) to version 1.1 (Build Date: 2002/09/30 14:30:40)
� Revision level updated from: P22452-P929-V102. To: P22452-P929-V127
� Manufacture version of ROM from: 2002-07-22 to: 2002-09-30
� Bootloader version from: 1.00.13 to: 1.00.18
� Bluetooth now seems to work without starting PocketPlugfree, Swiching on the physical swich seems enough.

maybe you should try using the newest version of winrar to try and open the file. winrar is superior to winzip.

Hi! Well I have flashed my LOOX and two noticeable things have changed. WMP has changed to version 8.5.
There was a problem identifying storage cards. If you had a SD and a CF card it just identified them as STORAGE CARD1 and STORAGE CARD2. Now that has been corrected to show SD-MMC card and CF card.
Apart from that, the buttons seem more responsive than before and the device seems a tad quicker...

It is the EUU3 + a lill more
Guess the size is what it is because it includes device spesific updates. (Why Microsoft released to the OEMs not us, the users)
I installed it about an hour ago. And here is the changes i have found so far:
Hard facts:
-New Bliss theme
-Media Player 8.5 (Build 12177)
-Start | Settings | Input | Options includes a new recording format "GSM 6.10" which i havent noticed earlier. Probably for the upcoming addon pack.
-"Storage Card 1" and "Storage Card 2" are now labeled "CF-Card" and "SD-MMCard" in File Explorer
-Pocket Plugfree (bluetooth manager) updated from version 1.0 (Build Date: 2002/07/22 17:17:21) to version 1.1 (Build Date: 2002/09/30 14:30:40)
-Revision level updated from: P22452-P929-V102. To: P22452-P929-V127
-Manufacture version of ROM from: 2002-07-22 to: 2002-09-30
-Bootloader version from: 1.00.13 to: 1.00.18
-Bluetooth now seems to work without starting PocketPlugfree, Swiching on the physical swich seems enough.
Feelings:
-Reading from MMC card seems faster (new driver?)
-Device seems faster in general (Code optimazion? Xscale spesific tweaks from Fujitsu Siemens?)
-I have heard from others Active Sync over bluetooth now works more reliable (i have not tested myself, will do in an hour when im back home)
I will keep you posted if/when i find more (supposed to work now :wink: )

If you get WMP 8.5, it's most certainly EUU3. Enjoy!

Please note!
EEU3 contains a fix that we've been working with Microsoft about since March.
It fixes a bug in POOM where the Attendees do not get emailed updates/invitations for appointments.
Just FYI

Teddy did the right thing :wink:
Hope you like it as much as i do Teddy. Looxing good so far with Fujitsu Siemens responsive and fairly quick to release the update.
I miss a official "Whats new/updated" list from them tho. If someone stumbles across it, please post it.
Damn kids on the door again, where do they all come from, and where did all my snack go?
