I have received some further updates from Harald.

Apparently we have resolved the legal issues with the driver for the 
GPS chip on GTA01, and the problem right now is that we switched from 
OABI to EABI. The original driver from Global Locate / Broadcom worked 
for OABI but is not quite working for EABI. Work is proceeding on this.



To expand a little on what Harald wrote, thanks to TI we are now able 
to distribute the upgraded GSM firmware, but we're still working on 
the exact distribution terms for the firmware update program.

This is good news!  The GSM Modem firmware update issue was making me a
little antsy regarding my future GTA02 purchase.  Thanks for keeping us
up to date on this issue.

Does this mean future updates will also be made available, or is it a
matter of negotiating separately for each release?
