last i heard, the situation is this:
- if you ordered from circuit city, they're still hackable.
i've been waiting on mine nearly 2 months now, though.
- if you order through netpliance, they're still hackable,
/but/ you have to prepay for 3 months of their online
service at $30 a month, and if you cancel the service
before the three months are up you're charged $500.
frankly, i'll take the extra $90 over the $500 -- it's
still a decent terminal for <$300, anyway.
