Yes, this device has been mentioned before.  I went to their website
and, since details are fairly sketchy to say the least, I e-mailed their
marketing dept with several questions, one of which was:
"Which 35mm camera systems will this back be available for, ie Nikon?
Canon?, Olympus OM?, ..."

They answered with a canned answer straight from their FAQ. I responded
by restating the question.  They never responded to the second e-mail.
They do not seem to want to divulge any info.
