I-Mate releases the AKU2 ROM for the K-Jam


I was very happy to see this ROM update. The download was reasonably fast for a 55.6 mg file and the install...they said 10 minutes and it took 10 minutes.

What did I notice right away? ...IMPROVED SIGNAL STRENGTH!

It is still too early to tell about all the improvements but from what I can see....this is a great upgrade!!

The main improvements from the original AKU 1 Operating System, 1.x.9.x, are:

Microsoft™ Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP):
• Addition of the MSFP allowing Direct Push email, remote device wiping, security policy enforcement and Global Address List Lookup for customers using a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.

Communication Manager:
• Communication Manager has been updated to allow current data services to be stopped, Direct Push email to be started/stopped using a single button press, and flight mode to be switched on/off.

Chris over at Mobilitysite did a great job in taking some pictures as he upgraded his device. Take a look at his article: K-Jam AKU2 ROM - Good News and Bad News
