This is correct. Scott was pretty clear in his post and here it is for those of you who have not seen it:

Next Steps and Timing

When the bugs are sufficiently cleared the product must be run through outside certification tests at Audyssey, Dolby, DTS, HDMI and others. In addition, regulatory testing needs to be completed for FCC compliance on emissions and for safety from an “NRTL” (National Recognized Testing Laboratory) such as UL, CSA or ETL. These things typically take from two to three months in total, depending on the waiting queue at a specific lab and on whether or not anything surfaces that has to be fixed and then re-tested.


Assuming it was ready for testing some time in April and the testing is approximately 3 months, I imagine that August or September they may be available.

There isn't much for Scott to say until then that he hasn't already stated. For him to come on and post the same thing every month would probably irritate more than sooth.

So I would expect the 978 to join the world in a few months and you will also see the return of Gonk, posting daily, at the same time. Coincidence?
