Linuxtoday (http://linuxtoday.com/stories/17660.html) reckon's its out soon
, if not already. People have seen these things working, so I've no reason
to doubt them.. if they're not shipping, they'll be in production, and will
have been in production for a while.. certainly will be interesting to see
