There’s a new version of iubi Blue firmware over at Advanced MP3 Players.
There’s also an extra file here that you need to download (right click – save as) and add to the system folder after the unit restarts post update.
Apparently the update is to

… fix issues relating to picture aligment when recording, and when playing back recorded video.

which I haven’t ever actually bothered doing with my iubi yet, but it also seems to have updated the icons (speaker, volume and battery) in the top right corner of the screen too.

I’ve been setting up Asterisk at work recently, as our old PABX has reached it’s limits.
We picked up half a dozen SPA942′s for some initial testing.
I have to say that while the phones are nice as an end user, however some of the administration functions seem to come up a bit short.
One of the big issues for us was that the personal directory on the phones doesn’t actually have to option to be populated from Asterisk (or any other PBX other than SPA9000). I have to admit though, I’m not really one to accept that something can’t be done.
After trying a number of things, I upgraded to the latest firmware (5.1.5 at time of writing) and after some more stuffing around, I was finally able to get the following line to populate the Personal Directory:

A few things about the command.
Firstly, the command will enter in two contacts in the Directory. These will be under entry #5 (24686) and entry #2 (25390). A complete list of all the codes here can be seen in the source of the Personal Directory page in the phone’s web interface.
So taking the first of the two entries (24686), what we’re posting is:

n=Geoff; (we need to escape the ‘=’ signs so that wget will actually pass the info on correctly)
n is the Display Name that will appear in the Directory

p=6004;
p is the extension number (or phone number). My extension is 6004.

r=1
r is the ring to use. 0 is no sound, just flashing. Play around with the other numbers to find the ringtone you want to use.

To add more than one entry at a time, simply separate the strings with ‘&’.

From here I’m going to look into LDAP integration, so that I can autorun the command, pulling the users and extensions out of Active Directory.
