If I had one of those soon-to-be-bricked robots and were offered an urgent OTA update, I'd be very cautious, remembering what Sony did to the Dash media players a while back: they sent an OTA that deliberately bricked the devices and only then announced the cessation of support. A homebrew community sprung up and quickly produced replacement firmware. Still, it took some technical savvy to install, and many, if not most, of the Dash devices were rendered permanently useless.
I'm not saying the Moxie company is doing this with their important OTA update. Still, given the circumstances, I would wait to apply the OTA until I see reports of how others are receiving it.

Yeesh, that's awful, this stuff is so frustrating.
I think the last movie I watched on a plane was on L1011 from Atlanta to Frankfurt.
