Hello once again.
Today is the last day of May, it's 9:30 in Germany right now (and should be the same in the Netherlands) and so far the big May-Launch has not happened. All the information we had so far (apart from NatCh who got very disturbing info from iRex in the US) was pointing at this month as a release month.
Henrycat, our dear friend and "informer" fed us hands-on and inside information about the Iliad and also hinted on the release date.

Now here we are, all hyped up and more than a little annoyed, thinking that maybe the pessimists were right after all. Of course the release could happen today or in the next couple of days, especially since irex has been telling people (including me) this over the telephone, but it could just as well be that they decide to stretch the wait even longer to get the device more finished (which isn't too bad actually, but very nerve-racking for us...).

I'm starting this thread, because the others were getting a bit long.
So start using it to speculate, discuss and let off steam.
