No I did not think to ask about that, sorry!That's great news! Thanks for the updates! Did they happen to mention whether we could perform the updates ourselves or if we'd have to send our Inspire 1 in?
Totally agreeMaybe it's just me, but I don't see a problem with DJI constantly updating the Inspire. This sort of product iteration is completely normal and I for one don't feel I'm "owed" anything. To put it in perspective, if you purchased a 2014 Ford Mustang, as an example, only to find the 2015 model comes out with 10 more horsepower and LED headlights, do you expect Ford to upgrade your 2014 Mustang for free? Do you complain that Ford doesn't give a crap about its customers? Or how about computer manufacturers? Would you expect Intel to send you a free new CPU every time they bump up the speed?
Some time ago we all purchased an Inspire 1 and got exactly that, a current Inspire 1 at that time. Just because DJI is now updating some components doesn't mean we're entitled to those new updates for free.
Since you work for them I would say this constitutes an advert.I agree that updates and continual improvement is what should be expected from the drone industry. It will get better and better and that is a good thing. In a lot of cases it may make more sense to rent instead of buy so you can have the latest updates but not be sinking a lot of cash in something that is out dated in 6 months. Checkout

Lost of speed for what!Has anyone thought the reason for dialing back the speed on the Inspire's is to accommodate for the new motors & the various configs?
For example if the old inspire achieved 30m/s with an X3 &. a 4500mah. This would represent the fastest config. So now comes V2, new motors, props, heavier camera, etc. so now things aren't as simple. A V1 Inspire with an X5 & 4500mah battery would only fly for 10mins. & ~15m/s...unacceptable! However, a V1 with upgraded motors, a 4500mah battery, & a X3 could achieve 35 m/s with the old firmware, this exceeds gov't restrictions, unacceptable as well. So you could say the original Inspire owner's get the short stick because DJI throttled back the max speed in order to maintain a flat performance across all the various model they currently have available.
