That's pretty well what I was referring to. I wasn't aware of the later announcement.
However, promising to deliver something that you don't even know is possible isn't exactly the brightest move. It smacks of "Look we're working on it, please just shut up and go away." I don't really think it was that way but perception can be everything - it can make or break a single product company.

In which case it isn't a complementary product, by definition, unless it's considered 'complete' as it is now.
Hands up all those who think the iLiad is complete as it stands?
Don't get me wrong - I love my iLiad. But there's so much more it could be, and I think it's a bit rough to expect people to lay out the premium price they charge for either an EOL product or a completely new one if you want something that will have the features that you were told the original would have.
