Hi Scott,
I hope they sort out the vocaliser because in it's present form it is really not worth having. If they don't or can't then I hope they leave it off altogether.
I also hope that they include a hard drive as standard OR failing that make the keyboard able to accept ordinary hard drives like other manufacturers do already. HOWEVER I predict that they will only include hard drive as an option AND that it will still be a specialised unit at an inflated price.
I do think they will include as standard a cd rewriter as I believe that one of the cheaper panasonic models had one included not long ago?
As for the look....I know this is secondary but superficial as I am I can't wait to see what they come up with this time! When The 6000 came out I thought it was the best looking Keyboard on the market. Since then everyone else seems to have gone the sleek silver route so I wonder what they will come up with???
Whatever happens all this is rather exciting
