I like the July date on the 3500 being it will smooth out demand/production. Looking at what they've done so far: April retail blow out on 2000/3000 May probably strong 2000/3000 retail, some OEM volume oversees (small) June - US OEM rollout - offsetting slow down in retail demand July - Big 3500 retail rollout, 2000/3000 far east rollout? August - probably decent 3500 retail, some oversees OEM upgrades Sept - US OEM upgrades for 3500 Oct. - Time for a new product??? It would seem given the timeframes, that TDFX may possibly be able to maintain strong, consistent sales by managing the channels, product announcements and production schedules. My guess is that they planned the July release even though they may have been able to deliver earlier. What do you guys think? Joe C.
