There's a good chance that they will not say a peep about it until the first production batch is on the water - that's how the 990 arrived, and they've kept the new unit similarly "under wraps" (aside from the obvious, which was that we all knew they were working on something to address the market demands for HDMI v1.3). As for when that freighter might leave dock, I would like to think it'll be some time between now and the end of the year. As for a really wild guess, I'll say Monday, October 27, 2008. Plus or minus 120 days...
