My Kindle updated to 1.2 at some point within the last 5 hours.  It did so without my knowledge nor consent.  I'm actually kinda peeved cuz I wanted to see the "Don't you dare touch me I'm updating!!" type of screen on my Kindle that some folks have mentioned.  (Edited to add:  but I missed it, the update screen that is, if it even did happen, because I had the cover closed on my Kindle.)

So, I had 1.1.1 at 5:20pm pacific earlier today; now at 10:20pm pacific I have 1.2

(btw, I have to type extremely slow because of physical disability, so you'll see this message much later than when I started to type it.)

I thought they were done "testing" the software upgrade via whispernet feature?

Anyone else got 'hit' today with an update to 1.2?

Thanks a bunch,

-Xia-

Mine is 1.0.8.  I only have Whispernet on when I know I have items wanting to be downloaded, or if I am accessing the Internet or GMail.  I'll leave my Whispernet on tomorrow and see what happens.  I am firing her up tonight...  This is interesting!

Careful!  It seems like when you least suspect it, Kindles will do a stealth upgrade.  Who will be next?


   will it be you?

                                     YOU?

I get the feeling it isn't by the amount of money you spend or the number of Kindle books you buy with Amazon. Smiley

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.
