Surely, there must be other people like me, who want a device but can't wait for some indeterminate time in the future when Company X will release their own product.

Tech companies might be losing out on potential sales by keeping a lid on things till the last minute.
I think the same,

I want a e-ink touch, if amazon does not say anything like it, I probaly buy the sony t1, but if Amazon announced that in January launched a new product, then I wait.

too much secrecy is not good ...
