Hi,
on the BeagleBoard homepage I get simply lost when I am looking for the latest image (09.04). As a starting point I choose:
First approach:
http://beagleboard.org/ ==> Support ==> Software Support ==> on the right side ‘Download Images’ ==> BBB ==> no link for the 09.04-image
(Sorry, I just discovered after close inspection the update link. Perhaps a little bit more highlighting is helpful? Resp. the connection between Download Image and Update Image is not THAT obvious in a quick read!)
Second approach:
Somehow I found
http://beagleboard.org/latest-images ==> but there is only 06.20 image, no hint to the 09.04 image. I really have no clue how I landed on THAT page via the Homepage, but I guess this was due to the BBB-start-page.
Third approach:
Fortunately Gerald posted the link
http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Updating_The_Software
from which I can download the latest image.
So, I would suggest to provide for a Newbie (like me) more direct links for downloading the latest Amstrong image - which I see as a newcomer highly important. The ongoing an in-depth links I appreciate as well, but don’t excuse a quick check possibility for the latest image without clicking around in depths. Since I found the latest image, I guess I’m not any longer a Newbie 
[Succeeded with my first quest ]
