Why did they announce it now if they don't intend to ship it for 6 months? Bit misleading really.

Probably because they have learnt from other companies? It will create a buzz, and people will start saving. I also think that if there hadn't been for the earthquake and ensuing disasters, it could well have been available by Christmas already. And at least people now know that it will be available well in time for the Olympics, and therefore will possibly not switch to another brand <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Kind regards, Wim
