RobertB,

Think I'm getting confused in all the excitement of waiting for the wifi/touchscreen version of the jinke hanlin v3 to be released.

Has the date slipped back from Feb/Mar to Jun/Jul now ? Can I ask why and what likelihood it will slip again ?
The time lines are from our General Manager who is always very conservative and allows for every problem. I am still hearing from Jinke that it is March. BUT, when I say March and it slips I disappoint people. I will email to Jinke tonight to try to firm everything up on the EZ Reader Pro. I tried this time to post very conservatively what the General Manager put out. In other words, I think the post is accurate enough except the EZ Reader PRO should be out sooner. Let me write tonight. No need to worry yet.

Mobileby is smart to know that dates slip. Things DO happen. Epson can have a shortage on the new Controller and maybe not deliver on time, as an example only). But I think this, hopefully, is worst case and reality will be sooner.

To answer on the Epson controller question about which devices will have it: ALL will have the Epson Controller except for the existing EZ Reader Base (which came out too early to get it). This means "PLUS", "PRO" and "TRUE" will have the Epson controller. I assume even the little 5 inch will have the Epson!
