A good news for DOPOD U1000 user, there is a ROM update for our device soon. i will get it by end of next week. From what i heard, the update doesn't concentrate on bug fix, it's more of a bonus pack with small fix for our device.

Don't confuse this with the singapore ROM update, it's different, the one you will get from this bonus pack is newer and not the same. The update from singapore DOPOD is even older the the original ROM ship by DOPOD Taiwan.

The ROM will only be included in the extra accessories pack which apparently isn't for sell at the moment. I have manage to buy 5 of them through my internal contact, will keep one for myself, and the rest will be available for you guys to buy if you want, or i will post it up on ebay.

I am not 100% sure what is included in the pack since i haven't got it yet, but here is a rough guide:

Car charger, Car Mount, Business Card recognize software, Backup software, GPRS Monitor, 2G miniSD with Navigation software (Papago, which is a asian version of TomTom, i have heard that TomTom is base on that program).

Rom update will include MyConnect (don't know what is that)

and RSS Home Plug In, Unlimited Live Music listen on internet (for a short period, then you have to join the member), Quick Mark (something what makes our camera to read Bar Code i think)+some system tweak and fix(not much i think).

****This Rom Update will only be available in this bonus pack, won't be available for download on internet*****

Now, they told me the market price for this bonus pack is £100, the price i can get you is £70 including shipping. Not a bad deal i think if you look at the price for car mount and car charger plus miniSD card. And this is official car mount and charger specially design for Athena you are getting btw.

I only have 4 available, and there is no way to get any more as well, so i will take a first come first serve here, once is out then is out.

PM me for payment and more details.

p.s. I will keep you guys up to date what is exactly in the box.

*****Bonus pack means it doesn't fix any major big issue in our device, it just provide extra service and application....and accessories. So don't ask my to upload the Rom, i can't do that. *****

Update on my gift pack, now i have it in front of me !

From the picture you can see there are lots of CDs included and manuals, and also a nice (specially for Athena) car mount, and also a car charger with very high class HTC logo on it, and also a 2G miniSD.

Now what's inside the disk, here it is:

Disk 1: GPS software (call PAPAGO), not too usefull unless you live in asia or planning to travel to asia, it's like the TOMTOM in europe.

Disk 2: ROM Update, you need to do a hard reset to flash this ROM, the ROM version is newer but i am not quite sure what is the main changes, don't see any addition feature at the moment, but personally, the device feel faster then before. maybe the windows build is newer.

Disk 3: GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup (well, no much to say about these, you should all know this software already, btw, they are in chinese, so no idea what will happen if you install it on english device.)

Disk 4: Penpower World Card ( business card recognize software) in ENGLISH and it works really well (amazing! , simply take a photo of any business card and it will decode and store all the info into your contacts)

KKBOX , (Online Live Music station, works really well, it has a very large collection, simply select type of music, singer, then it will show you all the albums and you can click play to play them or download them to you device to listen) but this software is in chinese.....

DOPOD RSS Reader (this also has a today plug in so you will see your most updated news on your today screen, nice!) works good and is in english

My Connect (this is like Vodafone live, you can get so much online service here, e.g. Live radio, Live TV, ring tone download, wallpaper, GPS Photo (at the moment you can only download, next ROM update will enable the GPS photo function so we can take it outself)). This is in chinese, with some english on as well(strange) anyway, it does work.

QuickMark (kind of a bar code reader, which allow our device to read bar code and decode it).

That it, this is what you get for the bonus pack, only 2 left....pm me for question. I am off now to watch the live TV from my device :)
