Image #124 results are interesting.  The network functioned on 
first boot though, so I suspect that issue may be fixed.

Also, new to me, are a fix fixes:

  - Airplane mode works!
  - The app scope no longer lists apps in pseudo-random order; 
    seems alphabetical now.
  - The alarm ringtone no longer sounds like a phone.  :)
  - The location indicator checkboxes stay checked now.

I noticed a few issues, too.  I'm not sure if any of these are 
known, but I'd love to hear if anyone has seen them before:

  - In the SMS app, tapping on a URL no longer does anything.  
    (well, it vibrates a little, but that's all)

  - On first boot, music and video scopes didn't show any local 
    files, and the music player claimed there was no music.  I 
    think the MTP server crashed during first boot and didn't 
    recover.  This might be related to my image-flashing script 
    pushing files to the device during the first boot, but I've 
    never seen it not list the files before.

  - The gallery app now shows videos, but it doesn't play them 
    very well.  Videos tend to lock up or go black or crash the 
    app.

  - The gallery app doesn't notice new camera images without an 
    app restart, if the MTP server has crashed.

  - Alarms are...  not so good.  They play, but the 'show' button 
    doesn't start the clock app and neither the 'dismiss' nor 
    'show' buttons cause the alarm sound to stop.  And then the 
    alarm triggers again just a few seconds later, and keeps 
    doing so for a full minute.  One attempt to 'show' an alarm 
    seems to have locked up unity and caused it to restart, but 
    this could have been the known welcome screen issue.  Also, 
    attempting to delete an alarm caused the clock app to close.

  - In the music player, attempting to seek within a song just 
    makes it skip to the next song.  This used to work.

And some old issues which still aren't fixed:

  - The launcher still pops under the keyboard.

  - The scope background is still hard-coded.

  - The gallery app can only zoom to two levels, and a pinch 
    gesture doesn't un-zoom.

  - Pictures taken with flash are still sometimes very 
    underexposed.
