Between the dials we have previously seen some screens of the navigation blending nicely into the black spaces. But i'm also hoping that they will utilize the screen estate in a esthetic nice manner!

If you read all the press material released yesterday, they mention monthly and even new OTA updates every 14 days. The idrive8 should be much easier to develop and push updates for (everything is made inhouse on linux platform).

Regarding the dials, there will be more themes and profiles coming after release.
