100% agree.

Unless they artifically bloat their patch/update file sizes, I'd imagine sending it through your phone to the device over bluetooth would work fine.

I'd even, personally, prefer they use a wifi link directly between my phone and the device while it updates before I give it free access to my lan.

That sounds more reasonable. I mean driver updates for many items I used weren't mandatory or searched for by my computer. Not even my windows machine. I had to go on their website to download them.
