Yes, that is usually the case with big announcements. There's usually a gap of a few days between announcement and availability. I remember this happening when Cerience announced RepliGo 2.0.

w00t I'm excited! I cant wait for 3.2! I sent them a huge emails with noteworthy enhancements a month ago but never received a response, I hope they took my mail to heart and tried implementing some of those features.

Yeah - we got this as news, but I decided to hold off until there was an actual download binary available. I emailed the PR contact asking, but got no response. :|

A bit off topic, but I didn't think it was worth making a new topic for.

I emailed the Thunderhawk team about some changes that I would like, the key one being the delay everytime you scroll, they said that Thunderhawk 2.0 would be out sometime relatively soon and would have a lot of new features, the key one being downloading the entire page to the PDA so you can scroll or whatever just like any other browser, only with Thunderhawks sweet rendering technology. Coupled with a VGA screen you have a match made in heaven ;)

Great info! I'm looking forward to it -- maybe it'll reinvigorate my Thunderhawk use. Did they mention VGA support at all?

I did mention it, but no they gave no word on it. I imagine they would, although there is the possibility that it would come at a extra price :(
