yellowTab announced the "Complete Zeta Solution": Both in laptop (Centrino) and desktop form (P4 and AthlonXP), yellowTab will sell, to Europe only, complete and compatible hardware systems. All systems come with a 2 year warranty and estimated delivery is 10-14 days. The systems will ship with YellowTAB Zeta 1.0-RC1, and buyers will be able to upgrade to 1.0-Final for free (only shipping will be paid extra). Also, as a launching promotion, and for a limited time only, you can order the Deluxe Edition Special Bundle, where along with Zeta Deluxe Edition 1.0-RC1, you also receive a free Zeta t-shirt. UPDATE: YellowTAB sent us a screenshot of Zeta. Font rendering is much improved since the betas.

Next to all the OS offers, there's some small print which states "(Not yet available)".
Now I'm not comparing Zeta to the Amiga in anyway, but I really miss the days when you were paying for a product knowing that you'd receive it.
How many of those people who signed up and paid for Amiga OS4 + T-Shirt a year and a half ago are talking positively about their experience?
There's a lotta buzz about Zeta, and from what I've seen, I think most of it's grounded in reality, but come on... This "Buy it now and receive it when we finish it" stuff is kind of lame, particularly when companys such as the aforementioned Amiga (er... Eyetech I guess is the latest purveyor of the OS) have already shown that not everyone out there's on the "up and up" (http://amiga.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2718)
Good luck to you Zeta, but until there's tangible product to be had, you'll not be seeing my hard earned cash.
