Are you sure that firmware is new?
Page has the date 2004/09/30 on it.

You may also find if you do install this your machine also only has Japanese language.

Has anyone actually installed it?

Regards

Automan.

Maybe Sony will release a Pan-European copy - this is a fear and resrvation I would have on this firmware update - an English VAIO-Pocket VPN-AP1L becomming Japanese...:smileysad:

Well, this update isn't THAT new. The siliconpop-guy has written this already some days ago.
And the Software, so I guess, is version 2, and he had 1, so he did the update, but my vaio pocket, and I guess also a few from yours already have the firmare v2, so you don't need the upgrade.
I will proof my theory afterwards, but I'm pretty sure I'm right....
...oder völlig perplex

besser sie würden ein update für ihr Küppel-sonicstage rausbringen....wobei, wenn ich gerade so nachdenke, auf der Japan-Sony sites gibts schon SonicStage 2.3 !!!

aber holen könnt ihr's euch erst, wenn ihr ein MySony Mitglied in Japan seit (z.B. meines von der Schweiz geht nicht 😞 )

I think I'd be freaked out if my VAIO went inot Japanese, but then again I think I'd go and learn Japanese...

@all !!!

My Pocket Vaio has already the new firmware (2.0) on it....so no need to uprade yet.
All other that have the older firmware (v 1.0), especially the 20 Gig Pocket Vaio has this, i would recommend to upgrade it.

SO.....still have to wait for improvements, and maybe for native mp3 support (as i read this, it may come ...if SONY doesn´t hit it again....)
