You notice that the new screen you reference is optional.

yup, there it is optional!!  Geezzz, maybe if the customer agrees to a three year non cancellable MA plan we can thrown the screen in for $9.95!

Maybe we could sell the display we take off back to Ricoh? Doesnt make sense to throw it away or keep it in stock for the next 10 years...lets go green and recycle!

Kitz:

Not a bad idea, Ricoh may credit us $10 or so for the part and we'd pay $12.00 to ship it back to them. The screen should have been a standard feature and the manufacturers need to stop playing games with MSRP so that the price of the system is in line with others. Adding $189 on the MSRP is not going to hurt any sales n fact it would add sizzle and save dealers and sales people money.  Being an option, I would get charged and additional fee to take the old one off and install the new one.

This is a funny question, but did Ricoh stop including "SP" at the end of its MFPs with this series?

I don't see it in Ricoh's US nomenclature anymore..

They haven't since they started including Scan/Print as standard on the color boxes. No need to designate them as SP if there is nothing that is without SP.

Some apps and java features don't work with the big screen........yet.

Which Java Apps do or don't work with the big screen?

Everything using the SDK is currently unsupported and official word is that everything will be greenlit within 4-6 months.

The stumbling block is the Android-based UI. It's a whole new world of OS complexity to bugtest. Having played with the new machines the UI is slick but it's not a fully custom build. It has a lot of Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" elements going on That's not a bad thing, just funny seeing that older theme and settings menu come back as a hyped "new and exciting" feature.
