Great news George..
This confirms info I recieved 3 months ago[ G2000 or V-70 were mentioned]. So I guess they compromised..G70..

Like I said before Roland already had all the components...they just had to put it together...
The only thing not confirmed is the MP3/wave player...Hope this becomes available , even as an option..
The PCMCIA slot may open the door for new "ideas"..maybe self contained card with it's built in drivers[like VX Pocket audio card}...

My G1000 will not be sold, even with my "new" G70...but if the new board handles some of the chores of the VA-7[read and write text/lyrics,as an example],my VA-7 might be available..[sorry Tim]..
