"Please look in the links from the first post, there is much about the "new" Prime. (Short version: the "old" [Prime] can not use WiFi, no more 'SEND' since the last firmware. There are some users who see this as unfair.)

The old firmware supported functions that won't work anyway and was modified accordingly, that's all IMO. Of course customers complained. I'd have given it back, allthough not due to the missing wireless capabilities, but because I would like to have the SmartStream as an option.

I bet if the Prime becomes a success, there will be someone building an inexpensive clone with an Arduino board, allowing for some budget sensors. And that probably won't work either.

To me, the broken USB is a showstopper for a device like the Prime. Just wait and see what customers have to say about the new revision and if the Prime is still supported one year from now or forgotten like the 39GII.
