I haven't seen any new updates from Netronix via the FCC so I doubt there's something coming unless they went through someone else.

Based on Wikipedia it looks like an upgrade with a more efficient and dual core processor and then the speed upgrade from microSD to eMMC. I would love to see a Libra BW with the same specs even if upgrading the storage would be more annoying.
