I saw those panels in Vegas last week. They are completely redesigned and
there are eleven new keypads including wireless models and a touch screen.
All hardware is backward compatible except the touch screen, and they have a
new wafer-thin wireless transmitter that looks real nice. You're right about
v 1.0 though, I'm a little skeptical myself.
