Why so long? Are they waiting for the price of hardware to come down or something?

As far as I can tell, this is an empeg with better hardware and accessories (CD player, GPS). Well, much better. I can understand how that would take a while, but it seems like Sonicblue has quite a headstart b/c of their other audio products (Empeg, Rio Central). I could understand a year, maybe even 2, but 4 just seems out of whack.... I mean, y'all already have a prototype. Is it really going to take that long for development?
