Hybrid V3 and Uber Updates

The new programmer is moving very quickly, and is understanding everything very well. He has started actual coding initially for some Uber updates (minor updates to begin). But so far he is unable to test them because the Uber software will not run on anything but the specific phone models the Uber is developed for. The Hybrid V3 uses the same phones. The software wont even run in an emulator. As the phone model is discontinued, I've shipped him phones from my stock. They'll arrive in a few days, then he'll be able to continue development.
 
Once the minor Uber update is complete, he'll begin work on the Hybrid V3 phone component. As he is proving a competent programmer, I don't expect this part of development will take more than 1-2 weeks once he focuses on it. So at this stage it looks quite certain that within 30 days, the Hybrid V3 will be fully complete and ready for actual use, including testing, all components ready and all. The testing alone will take 1-2 weeks depending on what, if any, bugs are found. Almost always there are bugs which is a normal part of development – we just do all testing and correct them when found.
