Sorry, I am waiting for it just as much as you are, and have no connection with any company, just some willingness to search the web in languages I don't quite understand
Warranty: almost certainly this is not destined (yet) to the Western market, or
Hanvon would have it listed on its english language webpage. Will it come ? I don't know; this report sounds optimistic

but then it's from last year, and don't know how much can I trust it. I was trying (with my original posting) to arouse interest in the device/eventually get valuable info from other people, so that I can figure out whether it's worth
getting it myself
Chinese market: my understanding is that there are businesses (agents) whose sole purpose is help you buy from taobao for a commission; 5% seems typical. Note that taobao is closed (apparently) to the western world, as they use a nonstandard payment system; I believe though that these agents might be more reliable (it's their business), but don't take my word for it.
I guess I'll be waiting for a couple of months, still trying to figure out whether a cheap Android tablet + some readers (Moon+ and Mantano) don't make more
sense for my requirements.
