They seem to be releasing new firmware for it every couple of weeks. My
brother purchased one a couple of weeks ago and speaks very highly of
it, telling me to replace my 500 with the 600c. He had some initial lock
ups but the newer firmware seems to have corrected that.

I think his only issue was battery life but knowing him, that is
probably self induced.

Pa28-181,

shaking my head

There's been ONE firmware update.

I think his only issue was battery life but knowing him, that is
probably self induced.


Battery life is 7 hours or more at full background light. On TWO AAs! More
than 12 with more judicious use of background light.

More fact, less hyperbole. Try it. You might like it.
