Hi Tom!
Back on Nov 6th, I posted the following:

My understanding was that while it *should* be released before
Christmas, it could slip into the New Year (it has!) or perhaps even
a wee bit later. As mentioned, it will all depend on how long Imacon
needs to fix any bugs discovered.
With Leica having just gone through the IR debacle, I would think
they will want to re-test, even after the software is de-bugged by
Imacon, so it could be a wee while, yet. However, the fuss, within
Leica, dealing with the M8's problems should not cause any delay with
the DMR's update, as it's not being done by Leica.
Patience, my friend, is the word of the day.
Cheers!
