Really? Are you sure it is not the 5435?

Well, that doesn't sound good to me!

I've been driving around for two months without a head unit, lol. I'm going insane! I need to have something soon...

Any other concrete word?

*doh* yeah my bad, 5435

On a side note, do you guys ever consider a cheaper alternative llike www.tvixusa.com or similar hard drive base media player. It's small and portable, can you it in your home, can play your mp3, most video format, slide shows, and dvd iso. You can go to this link to see other players that's being listed

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000713034799/


So basically get any video head unit that have an extra audio and video input. and you are good to go. Only drawback is that these current media players doesn't have WiFi connection yet.

That looks pretty cool and all, but I think the Eclipse is gonna be awesome....if they ever decide to release it.

So I talked with a store today who said they'll be getting them in around the end of the month.

Why not just say it'll be out in May, right? Sheesh.

Man, I sure hope that there won't be a lockout...from what I've heard, it should be okay.

I'll double check on that one...

I have one on order, and he said they should be shipping out the last week in april, which is this week.

Should be shipping from eclipse this week, and then end up on my doorstep in the next couple.

I emailed Eclipse on Friday. They said it will be released in the US on 6/15. We'll see if that really happens.
