I ran out of time last week, so this update is a few days past due. Simmy and I traveled to Portland, Oregon to present the closing keynote for the WebVisions conference. It was a refreshing experience to openly discuss the ups and downs of building a company and a community. Good stuff. I will make certain to post a video of the presentation (and our slides) in the coming weeks. Yet, for now, let's focus on the wave of upgrades coming soon to a Virb near you.

If all goes as planned, we will begin the rollout of the 2.1 upgrades next week; most likely mid-week. If anything changes, I shall let you know.

It has been two months in the making, so below you'll find a summary of some features/enhancements/fixes coming in this update.

That's all for now. Stay tuned....
