It's been shown as a "featured product" from MobilePlanet on PPCT's front page. I just checked and they're offering free shipping from August 1 to August 15. As for who will buy it, I have no idea. It costs too much and doesn't offer enough, especially compared to the H2215.

That's exactly the target market. That, and business users who need backwards compatibility. Sleeves are quite popular in vertical markets, as well as in consumer applications like GPSes.
