8 November 2009 - The last month has been relatively quiet for news about the Touch Book. This is a sign of the slow grind that is going on among the beta users and the staff over at Always Innovating. Most of what has been going has been software tweaks. The only major announcement has been the addition of a solution for the tipping problem. AI is also on track to release the latest version of the OS.

9 September 2009 - Yesterday, Always Innovating released a significant upgrade to the Touch Book operating system. Version 2009-09a includes a number of improvements and enhancements. In addition, Mr Gentil has issued a call for help from the open-source community:

With the release of 2009-09.a and the hardware September batch scheduled for the end of this month, we are reaching an important milestone as we consider that there is no major additional development needed. Therefore, our objective for the coming couple of months is really to stabilize and improve the product vs. develop new features. We think that the community has an important role to play and we want to accelerate this new phase.
