Release date? Does anyone have a release date for this product? I am eagerly waiting to purchase it for review and testing.

The WD TV Live is now available at Best Buy! I ordered one on Sunday and picked it up at the store yesterday. The good news is that you can put a USB N dongle on this and you've got a wireless networked player! I used a cheap AirLink 101 AWLL6070 150Mbps 802.11n Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter, which cost me $15. This is fantastic news for all of us who wanted WD to have built-in wireless.

I've done a quick google search. Seems like a Mid October launch (at least in Europe). Will it still include USB ports for a local drive?

Thanks for the confirmation!Off to get it back...WD has a list on their site now.Don't you love when you have plenty of patience?http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3805

What is new in this version ?Can we see the files as dvd covers ?(If we dowload them and rename same as the video file name)

Not all Wireless adapters are going to work. Adapters based on the Ralink chipset would work best.

So, just to understand because I tried two USB n adapters on mine then took it back to BB.You are up and running wireless using the AirLink?Cool! I'll go get the unit again.

I read 10/10 on another forum, but whatever the real date is, it's sometime in the next 2-3 wks. It retains the same design as the WDTV 1, but adds Ethernet and composite outs. USB ports for external drives, as before. On the software side, it does DTS-downmixing, so that means the WDTV 2 will be a lot more flexible. No need for an audio receiver anymore.pictures and info: http://electric-echoes.blogspot.com/2009/08/wd-tv-2.html

@Gary, yes, the WDTV Live works with the AirLink USB dongle I listed above. No hacking, no nothin'. Just plug it in. I am extremely pleased with the results. I've been streaming hi-def 720 and 1080p with it.@Philip, the Live is nearly identical to the original WDTV gen 1 in design, so yes, it still has 2 USB ports for local hard drives. Under the hood is where it's different. I'm very happy about it being wireless-capable and DTS downmixing, because it now lets me put the device anywhere in the house.

It doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere in the US yet. I think that they may have jumped the gun a bit on their release date. I know that in the past it's taken a bit of time to get their holders in the US.

Nice. I have been waiting to see if I can get it before I go on my trip, and just emailed amazon today. They told me they had no idea when it would be "released" through them. Sounds like you got lucky, I should have just pre-ordered then too...

I don't think it's been released yet. I bought this about 2 months ago now, and like you, it was listed as Out of Stock at the time. Anyway, reading over at Logitech's site, it looks like these were supposed to have been out in May, but obviously that hasn't happened. I can't find an official answer anywhere as to when we can actually expect to see this released.

I don't think they had any idea it would be quite this popular, particularly as a pre-order. Hoping to get mine, too, before Christmas. But, if it's delayed further, it's delayed further - that certainly won't make me not buy it. I understand how anxious people are to get their hands on one of these - I feel the same way - patience is a virtue. (yeah, yeah, I still want it here now, too ;-)

I'm in the same boat... what good is a pre-order without an expected release date this close to Christmas? Seems gimmicky.

spoke to soon! Just got an email from Amazon that my champagne 32gb tablet will be shipping and I should have it before the 16th...with one day shipping I am hoping to see it on friday. WOO HOO....hoping it lives up to my expectations.

Same here. I pre-ordered on September 17th and still don't have a ship date. I have always had good luck pre-ordering things in the past. I have actually received an item or two before the official release date. I was hoping UPS would surprise me with a delivery today...

Can someone post here when they get this from Amazon. I canceled my order, but might consider buying it from Amazon when people are actually getting them... since I've checked Best Buy and all other retailers mentioned on Logitech's site and like Stephen they've also never even heard of it. Late though it may be, and the In Stock status being a crock as it seems to be... I'm still thinking that Amazon will be delivering it before the retailers catch a whiff of it.

looks like this bad boy is already in consumers hands overseas. I pre-ordered mine... I really would like to see the delivery date move closer, i am paying for overnight shipping to make sure I have it for a memorial weekend trip!!! come on Kodak... come on amazon!!! i really want this new gadget!Many of the sites now list the release date as May 11th... actually ship by may 11th... I hope that Amazon gets 'em out fast.

Also waiting for my Cintiq to ship. I purchased it May 1, 2011. Does anyone have any current deliveries to speak of. Just trying to get an idea of realistic wait times for this. Some people have made reviews on the product as current as a month ago, so just looking to hear from anyone that has in fact received this item in 2011.

Engadget just posted a full review of the RAT 9! They claim it'll be coming out in November a clearly they have access to one. They were quite pleased with it in the review, but you should read it for yourselves.I talked to the Madcatz reps when at PAX this year and they confirmed that the mouse had been delayed due to wireless quality issues. They said they were committed to producing the best wireless mousing experience you could get, so to me the delays are acceptable. I'll be putting in my preorder now.

I'm not sure how anybody could already have this headset, unless perhaps they were part of a beta test. The original press-release from Logitech announcing this product stated a May release date. Obviously we're nearing July and the product still hasn't been released. Over at Logitech's site, on their support forums, there have been several threads asking for an ETA from Logitech, but there has been no official response. That's about all I have to offer, as someone who ordered these over 2 months ago and has been waiting patiently ever since.

I dont't understand the logic here. This product is being advertised all over the web that it would be released on the 22nd. I sent my order through Amazon today but I wonder now if I should have waited more or go somewhere else.

Bite the bullet and just get it if you can find one for sale right now. I pre-ordered mine on Feb 8, and still no ship date from Amazon. :-( From experience, the price of a particular camera model will remain the same until the next new model becomes available.
