If you're thinking of buying one to sell on again Rich can you get one for a white display.  :evilgrin:

They are the same unit Hedge just download different software for the white screen, it's that easy.

Do it you know you want too.  :happy2:

iirc - you can get the FW updated on the box so no need to get a new one.

NB presently you can only do the firmware update online using Internet explorer.
