I've read other places that there was an update, but it wasn't that good... though the author of that post didn't give any real convincing reasons... so I was just curious if anyone here has any first hand experience?

I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't be good... but then, maybe that's why it wasn't the version used in Scott's Kitchen or ROM.

I tried the 4.0 update and had some issues, not with the software but with the install. On the SSK 1.2 ROM I cooked wth Live Search 3.5, Live Search prompted me that there was an update (check the Menu item on the main screen for update notification). I installed the update and rebooted, but instead of replacing 3.5 I had two copies, 3.5 and 4.0 on the device. I'm going to try again replacing the OEM with the new one in the kitchen and try again...

BTW, both Live Searches seemed to be working independenlty, so if you have the space, you can try both out for a while. A few things I noticed in the new version, Bird's Eye view on the maps, a new categories icon (but the icons are still small on a VGA screen), an autosuggest feature in settings (not sure what it autosuggests yet) and a Recent locations list.
