Yes I've been watching over the years too, although August was the first month I'd heard officially mentioned (before this the estimates were fairly vague).
I'd emailed them previously asking about release dates, and it's true most of the predicted estimates were missed, but they were predicting a far distance into the future, not saying, it's coming out the month after this one (as they are doing now). So I have faith in the prediction and it will be soon, I hope!
Failing that there is the mysterious footnote from Stee1hed in the other thread:
TDVision gave me some very exciting news about something coming out in August, this is not the production commercial product news they previously released.
It would be nice if the OP questions were addressed now though...
Could you tell us if TDVision is going to be setting up an online shopfront for the August launch of the TDVisor? Or will it still be a case of registering an interest then making individual arrangements to pay etc. (Along with the 4 - 6 weeks lead time)
Also are any European resellers planned or will the purchase path be global?
I'd always thought it was strange the way you could pre-order, or buy the original pre-production version 800x600 model. The 'pre-order' page wasn't listed anywhere on the site, in fact the site was completely useless for that type of information! It was only after emailing them asking questions that I was redirected to the pre-order page. (for those of you thinking I just couldn't find it... It was added in recent times. Back before I was linked to the page, I'd been through every inch of every page on tdvision.com and tdvisionsystems.com. It wasn't there. Take my word for it!)
The pre-order page itself wasn't very helpful either... It didn't mention conditions like, if the pre-order was International or only for US. They said they would phone to confirm interest, which made me even more uncertain about this. So I didn't pre-order at the time, despite the fact I'd be prepared to pay what they are asking for the HD version.
And now they've linked it... Well they link the page but after all this time it's out of date. They couldn't check it to make sure it all still applied? (I'm referring to the "TDVDemoSuite" as a pre-order product. I don't know what it is but it says it costs $950 so it must be really good!...But I can't afford that... But that's ok I get it for free [as I read on]! If I order before July 1st 2007. Uh?)
