Do you know the difference between the first version that is no longer available and the new improved model?

I am still using the same plates that I ordered over a year ago so am not aware they have a later version. My old one still works fine so am satisfied to keep using it.

I bought this before then so I wouldn't know for sure. It's likely still the prior version. I'd assume they'd list a new version as another product.

I have their old version one, the answer is yes. But I am not sure for this.

The one I have was the 2011 version. I'm not sure about what improvements have been made but this one is still going strong.

I have the original version and cannot discern any difference between it and the new one I just received. Was hoping for some difference, otherwise I woldn't have purchased it for $19. . .

The newer version. But it would not be to hard to make it work with the old version either

There is no difference in terms of functionality. The new one has a different battle brain.

> If you buy new, you should get a Version 2Not the case; it's completely unpredictable unless you find a vendor willing to check for you and ship a specific unit. I heard from one seller, through whom I've been watching for a v2 shipment from SanDisk, that the last batch they received were actually all older units (they could tell from the package design). Seems like the old stock is being unloaded now that the e200 series has been discontinued. So if the version makes a difference for your purposes, contact vendors and find someone willing to check for you. One advantage of refurbs is that it's less likely they'll have to cut open a factory package to do this. > If you buy new, you should get a Version 2Not the case; it's completely unpredictable unless you find a vendor willing to check for you and ship a specific unit.

I cant answer 100%, because I read in misc forums that new version uses same numbers as the old.What I can answer is "THIS version when I bought it, is not the new versions".

I so not know if there is a different, newer version. I bought this as a gift for my mom. She loves it! Sorry I can't be of more help.

Do you know which one is the first version, I'm a bit confused for what I have read online. /:

Actually, the new version has an inferior processor so you are better off with this one which has higher specifications

I don't know what they mean by "old version"...pictured is the same V2 we purchased about six years ago and also the same unit currently being sold at B&H.; Unless there's been some software or firmware update that I'm not aware, I think it's the same beast it's always been.

Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.

It is the only one I know of that came out recently. There may some newer ones, but they were more expensive than this model.

The new model (late-2013) is slimmer than the old measuring 18mm as compared to the 19mm seen in the previous edition (late-2012). Hopefully the manufacturer will respond.

the two main buttons on top (left and right click) of the old version have a matte finish that feels very high quality, almost metallic like a media-blasted aluminum. The new ones are shiny plastic and feel MUCH cheaper. Yes they may both function the same, and are both incredibly durable (I travel with mine and drop them constantly), but I'd pay double for the old version over the new. It just FEELS so much nicer to me.
