This is still phantom ware.  To my knowledge , nobody but perhaps a few select
insiders have even seen anything more than prototype.    It was announced over
two years ago now and with the Palms and Pocket PC's - they have missed their
opportunity.  With the hardware it was going to run on, it can not possibly be
as strong as to what they are claiming.

If it does comes out, I would trust the Novag site as being more correct.  After
all, they are the manufacturer.
