For me (and I suspect most others still waiting) the problem is much less the delay than the silence. I'm sorry, but excuses such as "we have nothing to say at this point" and "we can't accurately predict when it will be ready" just don't cut it.

Desite gonk's assurances, I'm far less sanguine about the prospects for the Model 978. HDMI is a whole new ball game. There was a fairly confident prediction in Scott's January 26 update that the product would ship by the end of June. Big surprise... it didn't. More importantly, there was no status update when it failed to ship (which is a surprise) and repeated requests for such are simply ignored.

Outlaw: just tell us what's happening, whatever it is. Allow us to make decisions based on current rather than 5 month old information. Is that such an unreasonable request?
