Why can't they just tell us what the features will be? Is it so 
difficult to be open? In my opinion it would bring much more credibility 
for FIC. I don't understand why it is so important to keep the things 
secret. At the moment I don't see much difference to a normal hardware 
producer. But let us wait and see if there will be some more details 
about v2 in the next time. I've decided to wait untill the 4-5 devices 
are announced and I get to know the specs.
