What I'm about to say is NOT meant as a shot at PP. I am definitely considering a (large) purchase of these new products. But one of the things that factors into my decision is the very real possibility that the shipping date will be pushed back (not up, silly boy).
The fact that little (if any) alpha or beta-testing data is available MAY suggest that the product doesn't even exist yet. If we are to take PP at their word regarding the huge financial strain incurred in bringing this thing to market, it is certainly possible that they are relying on this pre-sale to generate the necessay funds to produce the actual product.
Their track record on meeting deadlines for this new line has been less-than-stellar. That, in no way, reflects on the product itself (which, as I say, I may be purchasing myself). I'm just saying the chance of an early release seems very unlikely.
If anything, I'm maybe "softening the blow" for PP in case the release IS delayed. You're welcome. :afro:
