Genio e ROM Update 3 and Bluetooth Software v3.0 Released

Toshiba has released a ROM update for Pocket PC 2002 versions of the Genio e. The Pocket PC 2002 update features are an update to Windows Media Player 8.5 which features smoother playback; a new today theme called Bliss; tab key functionality in Pocket IE and Microsoft Server ActiveSynch client. On the hardware side support has been added for Sony's memory stick adapter for use in the PC card jacket and support for Matsushita's SD-CF adapter in the CF card slot

After installing the update all data stored in RAM is still there, but you should not restore the device from a backup created before the ROM was updated. Therefore it is advisable to install the ROM on a device set up you are happy with and back up as soon as the ROM update has been performed. Toshiba's instrcutions are very detailed and I wouldn't upgrade without reading them carefully and following them exactly. Personally as non of the update features are very major I'm going to wait a couple of weeks as a precaution just in case there are any problems with this update.

Finally, Toshiba's software for the Bluetooth SD card has also been upgraded to version 3.0 featuring a number of new features.
