No, it is not scheduled to come out in the next two months.
Beyond that, who really knows?

The time doesn’t matter because whenever it comes out, Mattel will sell it by the bushels.

The APP STORE will let you know if there’s an update to one of the apps you bought/loaded with a numeric note - nice.

(In this case, it’s EVERNOTE - not shown on page 1)

While there might’ve been some problems for people on Thursday trying to buy, activate, load software AND sync everything - it all went pretty smoothly for me - 24 hours later on Friday.

Let’s buy Yahoo! ($45 BILLION)

Let’s launch a DAP/MP3 Player! (3% marketshare) ($1 BILLION)

VCR
TiVo
DVR
Video Game Screens
Anything … and unlike some current solutions, your storage is only limited by the USB [...]
