So I checked this morning, and Samsung Mini Kies automatically updated upon launch. It went from, this is the difference in versions, 10104_1 to 11011_4. Now when the firmware check begins, it doesn't say already latest version, it now tells me unregistered device. But I registered my device with Samsung. So not sure what that really means, just reporting my findings. No update for regular Kies that I found today, says already latest version there too.
