I'm also a beta tester for the Touch, I also don't have any inside
knowledge as to when it will actually ship. But I can offer a little
hint as to what was going on before the announcement.

During the summer there were several leaks about the Touch showing up
on the internet. At first just rumors then pictures etc. There was a lot
of buzz going on and a lot of misinformation about what it was and what
it could do. 

Due to our NDAs with Logitech we could not say anything about these
reports  even though we were chomping at the bit to dispell some of the
misconceptions and misinformation. Logitech was staunchly not saying
anything about it officially and was starting to look very foolish doing
so. People were saying they had seen one or knew someone that had seen
one etc and Logitech was saying "We have no idea what you are talking
about", eventually they had to officially say something. 

I think the last straw was when some retailer offered them up for sale
on their web page and actually shipped one. Now there was a real live
customer that actually had one in his hands posting about it on the web,
there was no way Logitech could continue to deny its existence.  They
HAD to officially announce it. 

So I don't think it was a crafty underhanded tool for increasing
expectation but more of a necessity given what was happening on the web.


Oh and yes it REALLY is good!!
