It is only done right until something better comes along. In TenTec's case,
better means faster prcessors and better code. If they waited for the
ultimate, nothing would be produced.
As I said in an earlier post, this puts more high end TT gear in more
people's hands. Compared to the high end Icom and Yaesu, the OII looks like
a Yugo
with a NASCAR engine.

IMHO, marketing may have proved a touch more optimistic (or on schedule)
than engineering, programming, and/or manufacturing.
I for one never expected that these announcements were absolute deadlines,
though it would have been nice.
But, I'd rather see the rig out a little late -- and done right -- than
released "on-time" but not ready for prime time!
