The following is pure speculation on my part (WAG): I suspect the selection process for Beta testers (including signed NDA�s) was wrapped up in July. Beta testers were probably shipped a unit sometime in early August. They will shake out the bugs by late October/ November. Outlaw may not ship any production units in 2010 but my guess is they will at least take preliminary orders before the year is out. The 998 should be on the street by February/March 2011.
