Sorry James, but I tend to agree with Alex.... unless something is seriously wrong, what is the harm in specifying a launch date and giving us some screen shots... after all, as I understand it, witango V5 was shown at macworld.
We're not asking for the release tomorrow (although that would be great)... we're just asking to be included and given some progress status. I find it absolutely amazing that there is still no new information since macworld on witango's site regarding V5. Either something's wrong, or we're not important to witango... or both!
