Seagate heeft een update voor zowel de GoFlex Media app als de Goflex Satellite zelf uitgebracht.
De firmware/app update brengt onder andere verbeteringen op het gebied van playlists en coverart weergave. Daarnaast zijn er vele kleine verbeteringen doorgevoerd.
Interessanter is het kopje “Coming soon“. Hier laat Seagate weten te werken aan een aantal zeer handige verbeteringen voor de GoFlex Satellite:
- Background music support: speel muziek terwijl je de app gesloten hebt.
- Wifi Client mode: Hoerdoor kun je de satellite opnemen in je bestaande netwerk waardoor je de media naar bestaande apperatuur kunt streamen, maar nog belangrijker: zodat je je iphone niet aan de GoFlex hoeft te koppelen waardoor je je Wifi internetverbinding uitzet.
- Ondersteuning voor meer dan 3 gelijktijdige verbindingen
- Verbeterde navigatie snelheid door optimalisatie van de database.
