At the very least, I take this as a good sign that it is in active development, as opposed to "we're working on something else but we'll get to it eventually," which is what I suspect happened with the last one. The feeling I got from the last update was that it was slapped together in a very short timeframe to deliver on the x-mas commitment.

I agree completely with ctozzi that if they are actively working on it, I'd rather they take their time.

Do any of the people who have been in touch with Stern about the XM code know who is actually working on it? Presumably Waison, but wouldn't we expect he's working on Borg's next (Metallica a few months away, says the rumor mill)? I seem to recall somebody had mentioned they are paired up in general. Also, the assumption is Waison getting more help this time around.

I'm wondering who is working on what these days. Is Lonnie free following Avengers? Or Lyman, considering that Star Trek is further away?
