ROM Update For iMate PDA2K
http://www.clubimate.com
"The 1.40 ROM build provides some significant improvements in the multimedia capability of the device including Windows Media Player 10 and further media formats available as ringtones. The build also has as new Bluetooth, WiFi and GSM radio stacks. Further GSM audio enhancements are currently under development and expected to be available on this page later in May."
Many of the "known issues" that have been on the iMate page are still there. The pending May and June fixes may be a new ROM or a RAM update that requires this ROM. We won't know until they are released. I haven't installed it yet.

Some known issues:
1. Camera program doesn't return screen to normal backlighting when you exit
2. Exiting Media Player while it is playing something will freeze up all sound activity (ie no sound at all) until you perform a soft reset
3. GPRS seems to have difficulty reconnecting after you use WiFi or cradle the device - a soft reset fixes this.

In regards to #2, well, like the old doctor joke goes, don't do that then!

Yeah... it's not a major issue, and apparently if you did it in previous versions the particular sound you were playing would stay playing until you performed a soft reset (but I never tried it in older versions - I use my iPod to listen to music)

It does include Skype in ROM now, and WMP10 as well.

Does the ROM update solve the weak Bluethooth performance?
