I suspect that this may be due to the fact the team is busy with other work (not necessarily just the empeg car). Curiously enough, even V1.1 is on a relatively low priority, since it does not generate the majority of the company's income. Additionally, the SonicBlue takeover has resulted in a number of priority changes.

The Mk2 tuner seems to be the thing most asked about on this board; Rob has repeatedly answered questions about it and has asked for patience. When the Mk1 came out, the tuner was roundly criticised all round with the most frequently repeated comment here being "I don't use it anyway". Given this type of comment, and that the player is primarily an MP3 player, it makes sense not to place a vast resource and development priority on a low-volume item that only a limited number of people appear to want anyway.

Tony, can you put a FAQ entry up along the lines of:

Q: What's the progress on the Mk2 Tuner unit?

A: Be patient.

PS. Although empeggers do appear here regularly, this is an unofficial site, and no one guarantees to answer, or even read, your questions here. If you want an answer, then you have to mail empeg directly.
