There is a rumor over on Creamware's forum about new cards coming soon. Anybody heard anything?

My guess is that it's all speculation and no real information is out there. I wish Creamware would be more open and just let us know if it is going to be this year - or more like one or two years down the road - or that they have no plans at all at this time. It would be much more sincere of them - and a courtesy to all current owners.

and a great favour to all their competitors
You'll have to keep your secrets as long as possible to stay ahead in this kind of industry - that's the way it goes.
And imho it's not a favour at all: it just moves the focus to '... but with that piece of equipment I'd be able to...'
I like speculating but indeed I also suffer under the assumption that my cash might be spent 'better' in a couple of months.
Btw: why the hell did I just buy the Yellow Tools Guitar samples when that virtual 6-String device is due to release ?

Good point.

But - if they do have something coming soon - it could also stir-up some interest and prepare them with a bunch of buyers waiting in line to get one.

Although, Creamware introduced Noah way before it was ready for production. So, if this indicates what to expect - I doubt there are any new cards on the horizon.

just imagine the new cw cards with 15 tigersharc DSP chips. wouldnt that be awesome!!! Pulsar III with 15x300mhz DSP chips! who wants to play!!!

We have gone throguh these speculations many times...
But think of this: Companies like CW (and their dealers) may have tons of old cards in their storage. If they announced "we release a new card in three months" nobody would buy an old card. They have to sell their old stuff first... and then they can say something about coming cards... that's kinda cruel, but we live in market economy.
