well i cannot say what Novag's plans are but it should be remembered that it
took almost three full years for Novag to release the much touted Star Sapphire.
then almost in an instant and with little prior notice,out came the Star Ruby
i think its fair to say we will not be seeing updates for these computers for a
long time(years even) but who knows for sure

personally i dont find the pieces in either computer so objectionable
i know many do
i guess if you compare them to the pieces in the pocket PC's and similar devices
then they are wanting,but i am lucky in this respect
these other devices are not dedicated computers,so i never look at them or even
care what they look like
so i guess you can say,in this instance..for me..ignorance is bliss
