I will bet a beer that they really wanted to release it in time to sell into the Christmas season. And I bet that they are not happy that they missed it. But for most retailers, today, Oct 28th, is too late for this Christmas selling season. Usually Labor Day is the end, after that, the catalogs are printed, shelf space assigned, staff trained, computers programmed with selling prices, etc. By the end of November, Christmas sales are in full process, and you can't even talk to a retailer about new products. I've got a beta test unit, and get new firmware nearly daily. Its getting better all the time. Actually, I may have the same hardware as they will be selling, I can't keep it all straight. I can say that the firmware and SBS software is getting better every day or so. Just personal experience, but its gonna be cool when it gets released. But to the topic, "announced" and "available to buy at your local Best Buy" are two separate dates. The Touch was announced in September for availability later this year. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
