What's New in This Release:
The new eAR OS version 1.10b has been updated to use the new FireFox 3 browser with Mediaplayer Connectivity plugin to watch movies on the Internet.
eAR OS version 1.10b is faster, because now the graphical rendering of the eAR Media Center is hardware accelerated, it comes with a brand new theme for a better look, now you can select a username and password of your own choice, and it comes with many other improvements. All packages are the very newest and it comes with Real-Time Linux kernel 2.6.24-19.
The installation is easier too: If you want it to be up and running after installation to the hard disk with a minimum of tweaking, then enter earmusic to be the username and select a password of your own choice. Else select a username of your own choice too and run the new wizard-places utility to specify where your music, video and photos are located. When running the new Wizard it is important that you specify digital TV Recordings and TV Time Shifts to be stored in the eAR-Video folder. Then you can watch your recorded TV programs inside the eAR Media Center.
