They have replied to me before, so I'm optimistic.

A wireless network, with live transfer of pictures when taken,  would not 
only eliminate the cable, but could eliminate the need for mega-storage in 
the camera, and free the photographer to move around without carrying a 
laptop or hard drive. There could even be an alarm if the laptop or camera 
move out of a specified range.

Still no news on final pixel count. The sensor last year this size was 5.1 
MP. There is a good (tho dated...) discussion comparing pixels to film at 
http://www.normankoren.com/Tutorials/MTF7.html

I wonder if they could make an OM adaptor which would bend the light so it 
achieves that verticalness they want.

No PR from thomas.pr.com yet...

The Booster is in one pic of the system and not in another, and not in the 
System Chart pdf.
