Well I sold someone on the 4GB Nitrus yesterday. And then a few minutes later the promise of the perfect gift evaporated when we noticed it wasn't commercially available yet.

Since I didn't catch the "release announcement," did it include a ballpark release date at all? Such as 1H 2004, or Q2 2004, etc?

edit: Ok, read the full release. Ships in January. Oops. Not even a mention of it on the official site. The least that could (should) be done with a product that is supposed to have already been released is to have a product page up. This should go up when the press release hits the street. This isn't the right approach to take if anyone at Rio expects to take even the smallest fraction of marketshare away from Apple. Something that looks like it will not happen for the 4GB nor larger HD-based players.
