I’ve saw this at Best Buy a week and a half ago! Griffin needs to do their press releases when they actually start shipping their products.

Hey MacGeek Pro - I’d rather they did it this way than the way they did for the TuneCenter - announce and take pre-orders for both wired and wireless versions - over a year later, I’m still waiting for the wireless version I pre-ordered to get out of development and start shipping!!

I would just prefer the press release and the product launch to happen concurrently.
