Interesting GoPro HD2 firmware upgrade on its way

They are well known for late releases... I sort of understand if you are having technical issues and just over promised (like I think is happening with the wifi bacpac), but the flat lens delay is confusing because it should be a simple thing for them to make.

NTheir flat lens is odd with the delay all i can assume is they may be having issues with fogging the air pocket, failures @60m they are targeting and also with being vignette free in all modes on land with a hd1 and hd2.

With the firmwafe im glad to get some early info but realise it may take a while to get it all stable and release to the public. Most likely a faster sd card will also be needed with the higher data rates and their may be issues with some cards.

Yea, I agree. No more cheapo SD cards that say "Class 10" but really aren't even close. ScanDisk Extreme HD Video Cards should be a staple video card for anyone doing 1080p... espically with these types of bit rates their talking about.

Anyone heard when this is being released?

Latest Ive heard is early Summer I hope they don't mean our summer down under though lol.

Any updates on this? I'm leaving next week for a liveaboard and have my fingers crossed that it will come out before then.
