I want hdmi out and mouse support.
I think they'll upgrade the Force, but I also know this isn't the new XL, so I would wait till Akai drops a real update for the X not just this "limited edition".
The Force just got a new 3.2.4 OS update today along with the new MPC OS. Why would they keep updating it if they don't plan to drop a MK2? I mean it possible they they wont but, there's good reason why it could happen & it's also possible that the Force has a higher sell rate % per units made (I know there's a better term for this but that's all I got & I'm pulling these number from air, but hopefully you get what I'm saying) then the Live-1/2 & the X. Meaning, say they made 10,000 MPC X but only sold 5000 that a 50% sell rate. Lets say they only made 5000 Force's, bit sold 5000, that a 100% sell rate. This would also explain why there's no big price drops for the Force, after 4 years it shouldn't be any brand new ones in stock & selling for $1300.
Another thing that gives me confidence is that it could happen, is Akai didn't mind wasting money on the Timbo Live 2 (who the hell is gonna buy that brand new). Like if they could make that, they can make a new Force...I hope.
