Version 2.0 is supposed to be a pretty major upgrade for the FS-5 (and I assume, the MR0HD100), allowing you to play and preview clips on the drive itself as well as a number of additional new features.
Firestore said that they were going to release the newest version update for the FS-5 on April 30th, but nothing has been posted, or notified, and even their web store is down. Does anyone know if it is going to be released soon, or if it has been on some other site?
Also, I have the MR-HD100, not the FS-5, (but pretty much the same device, except the MR-HD100 is specifically for the JVC cameras), will this upgrade be for the MR-HD100 as well?

Good questions. I'm in the market for a new firestore myself, but can't seem to get any information from them at all. I posted a message here AND emailed thier sales staff too. Talk about a non-responsive company. They used to be all over the boards helpful and answering questions way back when. Now it's like a ghost town.

Still no word about the update! It was supposed to be released April 30th.
And Focus's webstore has been down for a couple of months.
Anyone know what's happening to the company? I think they need some serious PR help...
Also, does anyone know if the update 2.0 will work with the mr-hd100?
