Dear All:

Yes, this morning about 5 minutes ago the new Astak Pocket PRO Version 2 (V3+) was made news to me. I ASKED about such a model a while back and was told "NO WAY". This is the first confirmation or even hint I got.

Yes, it is coming. Yes, Astak will have it! It will be a 6 inch with an Epson Controller and a 400MHz processor! It will have 16 level Grey Scale. It has USB 2.0. We are waiting to find out about the SDRAM amount. I am sure that there will be some other more subtle changes as well... not to the shape but to the inner workings! It will look identical!

We do NOT know if we want to put a new name on it. It may be put in the same packaging with just a "version 2" on it or it may be named "Electra".

It has been ordered; but we have NO idea yet when we will receive it. Rumor is 5-6 weeks. We will know more soon!

I do want to assure everybody that I did not know before moments ago! It IS, however, immenent!
