- Cricut Craftroom online design software. This is a free online site where you can create designs with your Cricut cartridges and then send them to your E2 via WiFi to cut. You can also use it with your Original Cricut, Cricut Expression or Cricut Create by using a USB cord. This is in test right now and may be available in May.
- New Cartridges are: Paper Lace 2, Beep Beep Lite, Bump in the Night Lite, Crocs Rule Lite, Yee-Haw Lite, Best of 2006-2010 (one cartridge per year)
