Cardo Mesh Boost firmware available yet?

Anyone know if you can download the Cardo Mesh Boost firmware yet? It was announced EICMA 2024 and supposed to be available 1Q25, got pushed back, now it's off the radar. If anyone has asked Cardo at EICMA 2025, I haven't seen a post on Reddit or any of the other Socials.

EICMA 2025 has kicked off and no word whatsoever as to when the new firmware will be available, or if it ever will be. Instead, they have fancy and stupidly expensive ($1200 before any other gouges) helmets, which I will never buy because of how well they support their products. I'm not sure how much I would use Mesh Boost or 32 Riders in a Mesh, or Public Mesh Channels, but at this point based on them playing vaporware and the poor support, I'm not inclined to ever buy another Cardo product again. Sena has better tech (Mesh 3.0), better radios, and they're less expensive (Sena's Helmets are $300 to $500 if you wanted a helmet). Cardo's helmet NCT doesn't help the intercom function (which is the ONLY reason you should buy a Cardo/Sena, generic Bluetooth works very well for everything else), and I don't care about having a light on the back of my helmet with the computer in the helmet programmed to activate built in "End of Life" functionality. The built in Helmet "End of Life" function cash grab really is a bit much.

Yes, vaporware and Helmets with built in End of Life functionality burn my biscuits. I could get really salty about it, but I'll leave it here.

I was holding my breath because I thought they may release the new firmware and functionality around EICMA, but it looks like it was a lie at this point.
