I have definitely given up hope on anything showing up in the next few months too. Probably more like end August/September; especially if the rumor about the OS re-write is true. That would probably mean another round of "beta" testing as well...
Maybe all access needs to do is change the 4 to a 5 on their website: "Products are expected to ship in December 2004."
I hope that doesn't turn out to be true
