NXT-G 1.1 Now Available

October 6, 2007

LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Software version 1.1 is now available, and in five languages (English, German, French, Dutch and Japanese)! This version also includes full support for Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) and the new Intel-based Macintosh systems.

In addition, the new NXT Software offers improved performance and speed, especially for large program development. New compression methods free up 30kb of useable memory on the NXT Intelligent Brick and shrink most programs and sound files by 40%. The software programming module, called NXT-G, features intelligent scroll and more than 100 other enhancements.

To support existing users of the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT #8527, we offer a CD with the new NXT Software version 1.1 for 19.99 USD. This offer will be available from the LEGO online shop, Shop@Home [ http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=4524081&cn=17&d=70 ].

Users who have purchased the current LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT #8527 software version 1.0 after May 7, 2007 will receive a free upgrade CD with the new LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT software version 1.1, by contacting LEGO Customer Service.

This offer will be in effect until 1 November 2007, where the software version 1.1 will be fully integrated in the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT #8527 set.

For countries not covered by Shop@Home please contact our Customer Service.

Best regards,

The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT team
