I'm guessing 2.0 is done but they're saying it's not just to unleash maximum hype once the devices are out.

The thought about them having a hunch about a competitor coming up with some goodies did cross my mind, too; otherwise, it seems slightly silly to unreveal those products just before NAMM.
That might explain why they're saying 2.0 is unfinished (if it is true).

March / April huh..?? Guess they still have to mass produce the units. Saw at least 3 X units and 3 Live units in there..

On the X, I'm liking what I see in the new Qlink modes. The different pages to navigate thru is dope. I'm really hoping it is well thought out and makes sense, right now on the Ren it is retarded.

Also, I'm glad we don't have Quagmire to watch.

Agreed. The qlinks are looking pretty nice. I like that things are mapped out. Makes the Ren qlinks seem a bit out dated.
