Brief Community Update, January 24, 2008

[Michael Shiloh]

Hi Nils,

Sadly, no update on either of those.

We're still awaiting positive confirmation from TI for the GSM update, 
and power management has been prioritized lower than getting GTA02 out 
of the door.

We do hear very clearly that power management is an extremely high 
concern, and will address it accordingly.
