It doesn't seem that hard, just download the .bin file, drag and drop to the SD card, put the SD card back into the gopro, hold down the shutter button, press the on button once, continue holding the shutter button, and press the on button 3 times until it turns itself off. Just follow the instructions in the video, it shouldn't take to long. I'll probably do it later tonight.

and focused on the single button to operate, it sucks to turn on and off the filming when you're more focused on skiing than on filming....

now 1 button, on/off (on and immediately start filming, or off)

they say you have to load your cam 100% before updating. anybody updated the firmware without loading it completely?

what is the benefit of waiting for the gopro 960? it says the backpack accessories are backwards compatible with the hdhero.

I'm pretty stoked on the New Firmare myself. Shouldn't be too hard to install but we'll see how that goes in the next day or so

live view out is sick, but it doesnt seem like you can use the case, which would be useful for mounting to stuff, still very cool
