Like I posted earlier, if they have been working on this processor for the last 8-9 months, don't you think they would at least have pictures or specs or something to show us. I think we will know when we are closer when Gonks' posting output drops below 3rd or 4th place on the list. I don't need an entry level processor. At this point I think I can construct a pretty good device from a PC for about the same price and know in advance exactly what date it goes on line. I followed the 997.998.978 trail since the beginning and won't follow this one closely at all.
