30 Dec 09 Samsung R1 Firmware 3.0 improves Battery Life, adds UCI theming
Samsung has just released a new firmware for the YP-R1 (aka R’mix). Among other things it increases the battery life while using DNSe, adds an SDK for users to create their own themes, and icons, and improves the responsiveness of the GUI. Here’s a translation (from Korean) of the Firmware log:
Improvements
- Music playback, DNSe modes improve your time
- Pay Fonts Download Support
- Pay-supported game downloads
- Icon support Edit UCI
- Improve response rates
. Music album cover flow, speed improvements
. Video Thumbnail improve the flow rate
The word “Pay” caught my eye. If I’m reading this correctly, some theme packs (like the ones above) will apparently be sold at their UCI Shop. The one in the middle is called “Simpe Text Style” or as I call it “Zune Menu Style”. On a similar note, I’d like to know how everyone feels about micro-transactions. Are you willing to pay a small fee to buy new themes, fonts, and so forth?
