During CES we met with top management from the factory team that will be building the Model 978, and we're comfortable that the new schedule targets are realistic given the additional features mentioned above. Now that things are just about final, our development team is working with them to fine tune the pricing, which is one of the items we'll address in future updates along with some final details that we're still keeping under wraps.

To sum things up, although we've had to add a few months to the schedule we are confident that adding Audyssey XT32 is worth a slightly longer wait. The hardware is now settled. The software direction has been set. The industrial design has long been finalized and within the next month we should have our first "spy photos" for you.

Three months to the day since Scott's last announcement, part of which is quoted above, and not a peep since then other than the mentioned "spy photos" which also required a reminder. For those of us still patiently waiting, I think a request for a status update at this time is not unreasonable.
