Re: [Blindattic] The Blaze EZ from Ferguson Technologies
Well, I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for not emplementing blootooth 4.0, as its out for a long time now and they should no that. I mean they didn't start planning this thing in 1980 or something. Its just a sick habbit many companies have to rip us off, buy letting us pay for older hardware. If they ever upgrade the hardware, then that means a new player, and that could be a totally different one instead of a follow up model. On 03/06/2014, Hamit Campos wrote: > Yeah man, that is epic.
