* I will contact you via e-mail, and set up a transaction to have one shipped to me here in Canada.

When we sell a device, even a new one, we test it and update the firmware before shipping.

By the way NathanM, I offered $50 on the Infocast 8 he was also selling for $300 and he took it.
Hopefully I'll see it around relaunch time!  I am a bit confused as to whether the I8 is going to become as robust as the C8 or if I'm going to have to update it *to* a C8.

Interesting.  I thought about trying that exact price since it said $300 obo, but since he was so "proud" of his infocast I thought $50 wouldn't have been accepted.  Oh well.  I have enough of them already and really need the $50 more than another infocast right now.

Re: Chumby Functionality as Alarm Clock

"when it's ready" is the best timeframe I can give you.

I'm not privileged to know all the details, but I do see progress being made, there was an update to the control panels this week, which is the first step in the process of reopening the service. so, I'm hoping, soon.
