My experience with the Freerunner

[Matt Mets]

I tried out the ASU software update on my GTA01 tonight, and took a 
short video of it:

The interface seems really responsive, way better than the GTK version.  
The keyboard seems quite nice, and worked well with a stylus (better 
than the video might suggest, I was working around the camera).  There 
are a bunch of little glitches in the graphics, and most of the 
applications seem to be nonexistent.  The sliding interface seems odd, 
however I will reserve judgment on it for now.

Cheers,
Matt
