Have my dreams been answered? I am not sure if this is only for the German market now, and the US later, but this is the module I would do anything for!

Yeppers, I'm definitely keeping an eye out for what they release in 9 days. My only question would be what they're defining as PCS. There are several things that could fall under that moniker.

This thing looks pretty cool! Unfortunately they really don't have any useful info on their site other than "Only 8 Days until we will launch our GPS/GSM Module."

I guess we all wait. Think about this; we found out about this yesterday and it releases in 8 days... could this be our only shining example of a good marketing and delivery schedule???

1200 bucks! whoa..... even the minstrel is cheaper. Maybe they'll mark it down when they sell it here. Let's wait and see.

They haven't answer my email queries from last week. We'll know for sure in 8 days, but I'm starting to think this is another Nexian/Navicom/Marcosoft soap opera.

only a week to go now, I wish they would update their website.....

2400DM/1,113.72 USD (see: http://www.xe.net/ucc/convert.cgi ) that's a lot of money.....

I hope they will sell them a bit cheaper... don't a lot of people will pay that much for a sprinboard module....

Actually, news of this springboard was posted back on the VC module board back in early May. I don't think the August 25 date got posted there until recently (I noticed it was missing shortly after the article was put out). Here's a link to the article shown next to the description of the module at that VC page:

Actually, I'd just settle for a GSM data-only module that would be affordable, instead of a hugely expensive everything-and-the-kitchen-sink module like this one.

mmmm, they deleted the X days to go counter....
Maybe they cannot meet the promised date either....

I send them an e-mail with a bunch of questions, hopefully they will answer me soon.....

today is D-Day!! It's still night time in europe so I'll have to wait for a couple of hours....

I sure hope they will update their site today....
But to be honest I'm afraid they will miss their deadline too.....

kepping my fingers crossed....

Okay, it is noon in Germany and there is still no update on that page from them. Tried to contact them but there is no response: I will keep on trying to contact them and post the "result" here. Is that okay with you?

It is not possible to send them an e-mail -- the script gives an internal server error back. :-((((((((

If they only posted a phone number........

I sent them an email the day I opened the topic and I have still to hear anything from them.

Seems like they aren't interested in customer service.

Also, I was looking at the pictures on the site, longing for it.....and I noticed the pictures aren't really 'pictures' they are graphics of what the item may look like.

Bummer....I want this bad, and I have a feeling it is awhile off. Hopefully HS will have a PCS cell phone module soon!

I guess it's just vapourware....
